Lyric

“We are surrounded by the absurd excess of the universe.
By meaningless bulk, vastness without size,
power without consequence. The stubborn iteration
that is present without being felt.
Nothing the spirit can marry. Merely phenomenon
and its physics. An endless, endless of going on.
No habitat where the brain can recognize itself.
No pertinence for the heart. Helpless duplication.”
― Jack Gilbert, Collected Poems

“Race is there. You're tire of hearing about it? Imagine how fucking exhausting it is living it.”
― Jon Stewart

“I am groping about through this American forest of prejudice and proscription, determined to find some form of civilization where all men will be accepted for what they are worth.”
― P.B.S. Pinchback

“How different would people act if they couldn't show off on social media? Would they still do it?”
― Donna Lynn Hope
