“On the farm, this is failure's best hiding place—smack in the middle of runaway success.”
Ted Genoways, This Blessed Earth: A Year in the Life of an American Family Farm

“Most people don't travel anymore. They arrive. Unless you're riding the slow boat. Then you see every mile.”
Porter Fox, Northland: A 4,000-Mile Journey Along America's Forgotten Border

Maggie Nelson
“Misogyny, when expressed or explored by men, remains a timeless classic.”
Maggie Nelson, The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning

Caitlin Doughty
“The great triumph (or horrible tragedy, depending on how you look at it) of being human is that our brains have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to understand our mortality. We are, sadly, self-aware creatures. Even if we move through the day finding creative ways to deny our mortality, no matter how powerful, loved, or special we may feel, we know we are ultimately doomed to death and decay. This is a mental burden shared by precious few other species on Earth.”
