Joan Didion
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
Joan Didion, The White Album

David Foster Wallace
“If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.”
David Foster Wallace, Up, Simbal!: 7 Days on the Trail of an Anticandidate

Miguel Ruiz
“There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.”
Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

Gloria Steinem
“When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.”
Gloria Steinem, Marilyn

Gloria Steinem
“Only food and water are more important than music and privacy,”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road
