It’s up to you to break the old circuits. – Hélène Cixous, ‘The Laugh of the Medusa’
“And because we were in Southern California-in Hollywood even-there was no history for us. There were no books or traditions telling us how we could turn out or what anything meant.”

“Maybe I am a slow learner, but ultimately, it is a choice. I choose not to be a cynic. Living my life suspecting everyone's motives, thinking the worst of people, is no life at all. Letting people get close to you is always a risk. Though I have learned to be careful, I am unwilling to shut myself off completely.”

As long as you're dancing, you can
break the rules.
Sometimes breaking the rules is just
extending the rules.
Sometimes there are no rules.”

“During the blue night you think the end of day will never come. As the blue nights draw to a close (and they will, and they do) you experience an actual chill, an apprehension of illness, at the moment you first notice: the blue light is going, the days are already shortening, the summer is gone. This book is called "Blue Nights" because at the time I began it I found my mind turning increasingly to illness, to the end of promise, the dwindling of the days, the inevitability of the fading, the dying of the brightness. Blue nights are the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but they are also its warning.”
