"Perhaps such secrets, the secrets of everyone, were only expressed when the person laboriously dragged them into the light of the world, imposed them on the world, and made them a part of the world's experience. Without this effort, the secret place was merely a dungeon in which the person perished; without this effort, indeed, the entire world would be an unthinkable darkness;& she saw...why this effort was so rare."

“Perhaps such secrets, the secrets of everyone, were only expressed when the person laboriously ragged them into the light of the world, imposed them on the world, and made them a part of the world's experience. Without this effort, the secret place was merely a dungeon in which the person perished; without this effort, indeed, the entire world would be an uninhabitable darkness; and she saw, with a dreadful reluctance why this effort was so rare.”
James Baldwin

Theodore Roethke
“It’s your privilege to find me incomprehensible. I gave you my minutes; let them remain ours. I hope I haunt you.”
Theodore Roethke, Straw for the Fire: From the Notebooks of Theodore Roethke

“Satisfy people's desire for the ridiculous and they will accept your idea of the sublime.”
Maurice Willson Disher, Clowns and Pantomimes

Virginia Woolf
“The grey nurse resumed her knitting as Peter Walsh, on the hot seat beside her, began snoring. In her grey dress, moving her hands indefatigably yet quietly, she seemed like the champion of the rights of sleepers, like one of those spectral presences which rise in twilight in woods made of sky and branches. The solitary traveler, haunter of lanes, disturber of ferns, and devastator of hemlock plants, looking up, suddenly sees the giant figure at the end of the ride.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

“Through spontaneity we are re-formed into ourselves.”
Viola Spolin, Improvisation for the Theater
