Book cover for Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation

Haruki Murakami
“Each and every moment, our bodies are on a one-way journey to collapse and deterioration, unable to turn back the clock. I close my eyes, I open them again, only to realize that in the interim so many things have vanished. Buffeted by the intense midnight winds, these things—some with names, some without—disappear without a trace. All that is left is a faint memory. Even memory, though, can hardly be relied on. Can anyone say for certain what really happened to us back then?”
Haruki Murakami, First Person Singular: Stories

Adrienne Rich

new and unmapped and strange
What would it mean to stand on the first
page of the end of despair?”
Adrienne Rich

“No one can be independent of other people completely, so why not give up the attempt, she thought, go running in the other direction, depend on people for everything, allow them to depend on you, why not.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Studs Terkel
“More or less," that most ambiguous of phrases, pervades many of the conversations that comprise this book, reflecting, perhaps, the ambiguity of attitude toward The Job. Something more than Orwellian acceptance, something less than Luddite sabotage. Often the two impulses are fused in the same person.”
Studs Terkel, Working
