Whatever he spoke he knew would be but another name for the wildness that he sought. It was a freedom and a goodness, a hope and a vigor that he perceived to underlie all the familiar things of his life, which were not free or good or hopeful or vigorous. What he sought was the source and preserver of his world, a world which seemed to turn ever in fear away from its source, rather than search it out, as the prairie grass around him sent down its fibered roots into the rich dark dampness, the Wildness, and thereby renewed itself year after year

Harshita Gottipati
“The true dwellers help you embrace
the darkness in yourself and wield it at will.
It is never belittling but empowering.”
Harshita Gottipati, Born A Free Spirit

Jerry Stahl
“If Sartre was right that hell is other people—then other people in a tour bus traveling through Poland may be whatever they call the place below hell … or at least one corner of it.”
Jerry Stahl, Nein, Nein, Nein!: One Man’s Tale of Depression, Psychic Torment, and a Bus Tour of the Holocaust

George Prochnik
“From the beginning, Scholem made clear that Kabbalah is a writer's mysticism.”
