Patti Smith
“So my last image was as the first. A sleeping youth cloaked in light, who opened his eyes with a smile of recognition for someone who had never been a stranger.”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

Maria Popova
“When we encounter a person of exceptional intellectual and creative vitality, their magnetism can disorient the compass needle of admiration and attraction—it becomes difficult, sometimes impossible, to tease apart the desire to be with from the desire to be like.”
Maria Popova, Figuring

Kiese Laymon
“I learned you haven't read anything if you've only read something once or twice. Reading things more than twice was the reader version of revision.”
Kiese Laymon, Heavy

Maria Popova
“History is not what happened, but what survives the shipwrecks of judgment and chance.”
Maria Popova, Figuring

Miranda July
“We had fallen in love; that was still true. But given the right psychological conditions, a person could fall in love with anyone or anything. A wooden desk—always on all fours, always prone, always there for you. What was the lifespan of these improbable loves? An hour. A week. A few months at best. The end was a natural thing, like the seasons, like getting older, fruit turning. That was the saddest part—there was no one to blame and no way to reverse it.”
Miranda July, The First Bad Man
