“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.

“My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?”

“There was a level on which I believed that what had happened remained reversible”
― Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking
