Terence Blake

“I learned very early on not to speak to my folk from on high, but to get down with them, beside them, showing them how to act rather than telling them. And I suggested that they should do the same with one another: that they didn't need a book of rules to tell them what to do and what not to do, but experience and action.”
― Robert Jackson Bennett, City of Stairs

“The older you get, the more voices you get in the back of your head.”
― Robert Jackson Bennett, American Elsewhere

“Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality; those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political.”
― Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

“As the ego does not represent the whole psyche, so the Western mind cannot speak for the whole world.”
― James Hillman, Philosophical Intimations
