“Y'all think a body be who you is, but it ain't nothing but a motherfucking sack of meat.”
James Hannaham, Delicious Foods

Rachel Cusk
“What Ryan had learned from this is that your failures keep returning to you, while your successes are something you always have to convince yourself of.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline

Virginia Woolf
“What a vision of loneliness and riot the thought of Margaret Cavendish brings to mind! as if some giant cucumber had spread itself over all the roses and carnations in the garden and choked them to death.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

“We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore.”
John Powell SJ

James Hannaham
“A story might help you get through your life, he said, but it doesn't literally keep you alive -- if anything, most often people who have power turn their story into a brick wall keeping out somebody else's truth, so that they can continue the life they believe themselves to be leading, trying somehow to preserve the idea that they're good people in their small lives, despite their involvement, however indirect, with bigger evils.”
James Hannaham, Delicious Foods
