Heinrich Böll
“The new government decided the best way to rectify this was to outlaw abortion and prohibit the sale or display of contraceptives in the Weimar constitution of 1919. During a time of unimaginable scarcity and fear, women were forced into motherhood. They were forced to make do, and the pressure to repopulate the nation, to birth and raise a new generation of mothers and soldiers, was enormous. It was the most important thing a woman could possibly do: Be the Good Mother.”
Heinrich Böll, Billiards at Half-Past Nine

“I find it’s almost impossible to put two words together and not find at least some meaning. We’re conditioned to look for patterns and identify mysteries to solve much more than we are designed to dictate what we’re searching for. I recommend allowing that natural curiosity and our sense-making brains to do their thing.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song

“So if you’re doing something with your free time other than writing a song, it’s because you really don’t want to write a song.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song

Kazuo Ishiguro
“They fought as though the most important thing was to damage each other as much as possible.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

“you will hear something that you want to keep. Or hear something that reminds you of something else. Songwriters are just people who have claimed those things—who give themselves credit. Who say they invented rock and roll. And you can do it, too. You just invented a song. You just invented music.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song
