Rebecca Solnit
“Men explain things to me, still. And no man has ever apologized for explaining, wrongly, things that I know and they don't.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

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
“I believe in movement. I believe in that lighthearted balloon, the world. I believe in midnight and the hour of noon. But what else do I believe in? Sometimes everything. Sometimes nothing. It fluctuates like light flitting over a pond.”
Patti Smith, M Train

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
