“And to the slave, the master’s way of life represents the ideal free lifestyle.”
bell hooks, Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism

Edward Abbey
“You can never go wrong cuttin' fence,' repeated Smith, warming to his task. (Pling!) "Always cut fence. That's the law west of the 100th meridian. East of that don't matter none. Back there it's all lost anyhow. But west, we cut fence,' (Plang!)”
Edward Abbey, The Monkey Wrench Gang

Frank O'Hara
“Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they won't know what you're up to
it's true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images
and when you grow old as grow old you must
they won't hate you”
Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems

Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
“Vous posséder et vous perdre, c’est acheter un moment de bonheur par une éternité de regrets.”
Laclos, Pierre Choderlos de, Les Liaisons dangereuses

Frank O'Hara
“For Grace, After a Party"

You do not always know what I am feeling.
Last night in the warm spring air while I was
blazing my tirade against someone who doesn’t
interest
me, it was love for you that set me
afire,

and isn’t it odd? for in rooms full of
strangers my most tender feelings
writhe and
bear the fruit of screaming. Put out your hand,
isn’t there
an ashtray, suddenly, there? beside
the bed? And someone you love enters the room
and says wouldn’t
you like the eggs a little

different today?
And when they arrive they are
just plain scrambled eggs and the warm weather
is holding.”
Frank O'Hara, The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara
