“The truth is, most wisdom is embittering. The task of the wise person cannot be to
pretend with false naiveté that every moment is new and unprecedented, but to bear the burden of bitterness which experience forces on us with as much uncomplaining dignity as strength will allow. Beyond that, all we can ask of ourselves is that bitterness not cancel out our capacity still to be surprised.”
Philip Lopate

James Baldwin
“People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances, or in order not to be submerged by a reality that they cannot articulate.”
James Baldwin

“Cognitive psychology considers successive mediating events between the outer world of the organism (environmental input) and the behavior of the organism (response output). The gap between these two endpoints is reputed to be filled by various components (e.g., a complex memory system comprising several constituent parts, an information processing system also comprising several constituent parts, a “cognitive map,” or a symbol manipulation machine.”
Mecca Chiesa, Radical Behaviorism: The Philosophy and the Science

“If nature is unjust, change nature!”
Laboria Cuboniks, Xenofeminism: A Politics for Alienation

Joan Didion
“My only advantage as a reporter is that I am so physically small, so temperamentally unobtrusive, and so neurotically inarticulate that people tend to forget that my presence runs counter to their interests. And it always does. That is one last thing to remember: writers are always selling somebody out.”
Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
