Yoko Ono
“Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.”
Yoko Ono

Kathryn Davis
“Two adolescent girls on a hot summer night--hardly the material of great literature, which tends to endow all male experience (that of those twin brothers who found themselves adrift so many years ago in the dark northern woods for instance) with universal radiance. Faithless sons, wars and typhoons, fields of blood, greed and knives: our literature's full of such stories. And yet suppose for an instant that it wasn't the complacent father but his bored daughter who was the Prime Mover; suppose that what came first wasn't an appetite for drama but the urge to awaken it. Mightn't we then permit a single summer in the lives of two bored girls to represent an essential stage in the history of the universe?”
Kathryn Davis

Djuna Barnes
“Even the contemplative life is only an effort, Nora my dear, to hide the body so the feet won’t stick out.”
Djuna Barnes, Nightwood

Grace Paley
“My language limitations here are real. My vocabulary is adequate for writing notes and keeping journals but absolutely useless for an active moral life. If I really knew this language, there would surely be in my head, as there is in Webster's or the Dictionary of American Slang, that unreducible verb designed to tell a person like me what to do next.”
Grace Paley, Enormous Changes at the Last Minute: Stories

Morrissey
“I was driving my car, I crashed and broke my spine. So yes there are things worse in life than never being someone's sweetie.”
Morrissey
