Dylan Thomas
“[I'm]a freak user of words, not a poet.”
Dylan Thomas

Maurice Blanchot
“When Kafka allows a friend to understand that he writes because otherwise he would go mad, he knows that writing is madness already, his madness, a kind of vigilence, unrelated to any wakefulness save sleep's: insomnia. Madness against madness, then. But he believes that he masters the one by abandoning himself to it; the other frightens him, and is his fear; it tears through him, wounds and exalts him. It is as if he had to undergo all the force of an uninterruptable continuity, a tension at the edge of the insupportable which he speaks of with fear and not without a feeling of glory. For glory is the disaster.”
Maurice Blanchot, The Writing of the Disaster

Jarod Kintz
“We rode the merry-go-round like a couple of lovers. We weren’t though; we were just two horse enthusiasts from two different worlds (I think she was from Mars).”
Jarod Kintz, The Titanic would never have sunk if it were made out of a sink.

Dorothy Day
“The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.”
Dorothy Day

bell hooks
“…“white supremacy” is a much more useful term for understanding the complicity of people of color in upholding and maintaining racial hierarchies that do not involve force (i.e slavery, apartheid) than the term “internalized racism”- a term most often used to suggest that black people have absorbed negative feelings and attitudes about blackness. The term “white supremacy” enables us to recognize not only that black people are socialized to embody the values and attitudes of white supremacy, but we can exercise “white supremacist control” over other black people.”
bell hooks, Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black
