"2.9: Theyre all just hanging out at a veranda, 11PM, during what was supposed to be a getaway…Didnt have sht to do in fuedal Russia I guess

I dont understand the prince at all, I dont think its “goodness” that makes him keep entertaining awful people. You can only let in so many people until you become a doormat"

Elaine Castillo
“It feels impossibly hard and incalculably stupid to commit to that love, to bear it and be borne by it, but that is what I feel—it is the wellspring that reading leads me to, every time. Loving this world, loving being alive in it, means living up to that world; living up to that love. I can’t say I love this world or living in it if I don’t bother to know it; indeed, be known by it. It’s that mutual promise of knowing that reading holds us in—an inheritance that belongs to us, whether we accept it or not. Whether we read its pages or not. This book remains just one small part of that work: that inheritance, and that love.”

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

James Baldwin
“I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am, also, much more than that. So are we all.”
James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

Elaine Castillo
“Park reminds us that justice and violence are temporary friends, and that what actually makes justice meaningful are the same things that make life meaningful: love, repair, intimacy, connections, solidarity and the promise of the daily.”
Elaine Castillo, How to Read Now

Olivia Laing
“Loneliness is personal, and it is also political. Loneliness is collective; it is a city. As to how to inhabit it, there are no rules and nor is there any need to feel shame, only to remember that the pursuit of individual happiness does not trump or excuse our obligations to each another. We are in this together, this accumulation of scars, this world of objects, this physical and temporary heaven that so often takes on the countenance of hell. What matters is kindness; what matters is solidarity. What matters is staying alert, staying open, because if we know anything from what has gone before us, it is that the time for feeling will not last.”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
