Rebecca Solnit
“Afraid of the darkness of the unknown, the spaces in which we see only dimly, we often choose the darkness of closed eyes, of obliviousness.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Patti Smith
“What do we do with those that can be accessed and dismissed by a channel changer, that we love no less than a nineteenth-century poet or an admired stranger or a character from the pen of Emily Brontë? What do we do when one of them commingles with our own sense of self, only to be transferred into a finite space within an on-demand portal?”
Patti Smith, M Train

Patti Smith
“[W]ithout a doubt we sometimes eclipse our own dreams with reality.”
Patti Smith, M Train

Rebecca Solnit
“Every woman knows what I’m talking about. It’s the presumption that makes it hard, at times, for any woman in any field; that keeps women from speaking up and from being heard when they dare; that crushes young women into silence by indicating, the way harassment on the street does, that this is not their world. It trains us in self-doubt and self-limitation just as it exercises men’s unsupported overconfidence.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Patti Smith
“How is it that we never completely comprehend our love for someone until they’re gone?”
Patti Smith, M Train: A Memoir
