“What's so bad about derivation? Isn't everything derived? We just usually call it "in conversation with". Is it even possible to really copy someone? If someone tried their hardest to mimic another person, their unique life experiences and skills would still yield completely different results.”

“People, especially elders, repeat stories over and over again with purpose. In the arrogance of youth, we often think they do I because they are absent-minded. Now I know they repeat themselves because they’ve whittled like down into observations that should not be forgotten. They are authoring scriptures of their own.”

“People respond to jealousy in so many different ways. Some people use it as fuel or ammunition. They get more competitive, and they can become very successful with the engine that jealousy gives them. Others aren’t so lucky, and they get mired in pettiness and toxicity. These are often people who feel a good amount of entitlement. There are also those who can’t handle it at all. They withdraw slowly, depressed, unwilling or unable to find a space for themselves. In actuality, there is room for everyone, but the market benefits from an illusion of scarcity.”

“I had truly believed that if you worked hard enough, with enough creativity and dedication, it was possible to make your way to a greener pasture where everyone made pieces from a place of love and introspection. I had believed that good art prevails. Events like these remind me of money’s total power to control and leech the substance out of everything. Sure, you can be a star in this world, as long as you keep your patrons interested and are willing to compromise everything to make them more money. Not too many women can succeed at one time…just enough to make the rest of us hungry, to believe it’s possible.”

“When dreams repeat events from the past, when they mangle them, turn them into images, and sift them through a web of meanings, I start to fear that the past, just like the future, will remain obscure and inscrutable forever. The fact that I have experienced something doesn’t mean I have understood it. Suppose it turned out that something I thought I knew about and had always regarded as fixed and certain might have happened for a completely different reason and in a way I had never suspected. That it had led me to the wrong conclusion, and that I had failed to go in the right direction because I was blind, or asleep.”
