But we need to be very clear: because of our decades of collective denial, no gradual, incremental options are now available to us.

“To paint a leaf, you have to sacrifice the whole landscape. It might seem like you're limiting yourself at first, but after a while you realize that having a quarter-of-an-inch of something you have a better chance of holding on to a certain feeling of the universe than if you pretended to be doing the whole sky. My mother did not choose a leaf or a head. She chose my father, and to hold on to a certain feeling, she sacrificed the world.”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

“You are on the floor crying,
and you have been on the floor crying
for days.
And that is you being brave.
That is you getting through it
as best you know how.
No one else can decide
What your tough looks like.”
― Clementine von Radics

“The surest way of concealing from others the boundaries of one's own knowledge is not to overstep them.”
