"“If the world is torn to pieces, I want to see what story I can find in fragmentation … when everything feels like it’s coming apart, the act of assemblage feels like a worthy pastime.”" — Sep 30, 2026 06:43PM

Barry Lopez
“Remember on this one thing, said Badger. The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memories. This is how people care for themselves. ”
― Barry Lopez, Crow and Weasel

“The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.”
― Rita Mae Brown

Ali Smith
“Happy is what you realize you are a fraction of a second before it's too late.”
― Ali Smith

Tim O'Brien
“You don't know. When I'm out there at night I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark - I'm on fire almost - I'm burning away into nothing - but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am.”
― Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried

Doris Lessing
“That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.”
― Doris Lessing
