Molly Ringle
“Tell me again how you're not stalking me?”
Molly Ringle, Persephone's Orchard

Henry David Thoreau
“Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man?”
Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

Steven Pressfield
“. . . None of us are born as passive generic blobs waiting for the world to stamp its imprint on us. Instead we show up possessing already a highly refined and individuated soul.

Another way of thinking of it is: We're not born with unlimited choices.

We can't be anything we want to be.

We come into this world with a specific, personal destiny. We have a job to do, a calling to enact, a self to become. We are who we are from the cradle, and we're stuck with it.

Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it.”
Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

Seth Godin
“You get to keep making art as long as you are willing to make the choices that let you make your art.”
Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly?

John D'Agata
“Sometimes the essay is where we end up when everything that we know must change.”
John D'Agata, The Lost Origins of the Essay
