| 2c3f123 | On that long road to success, and I emphasize the word long, you will stumble. You have the choice of remaining on the ground or you can pick yourself up, and struggle again on that path that you hope will take you to the career or the success that you have dreamed of. Don't give up, just persevere." Justice Joyce Kennard Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court" | Robert Cullen | ||
| a67cbc5 | Robert Pattinson enjoyed his role as Cedric Diggory much more than Edward Cullen from the Twilight series. | Mariah Caitlyn | ||
| 4afdb87 | Golf was just what the Scottish character had been searching for for centuries. Namely, a method of self-torture disguised as a game, which could entrap irreligious youths into principles of what was to become first known as Calvinism and then ... golf. The main tenets of this faith are that life is grim and uncomfortable and that human vanity cannot prevail. | Bob Cullen | ||

| 8ee6313 | But Mama taught me that while life had sharp edges, it would only cut you if you allowed it to. | T.J. Klune | ||
| d4e0c0d | The goal wasn't specific enough. I hadn't defined alternate activities that would replace the initial workload. Therefore, I just continued working, even though there was no financial need. I needed to feel productive and had no other vehicles. This is how most people work until death: "I'll just work until I have X dollars and then do what I want." If you don't define the "what I want" alternate activities, the X figure will increase indef.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 7c9991d | Thanks to demographics, that conservative push is not going to work--the United States is not going to be a mostly white country again--and because genies don't go back into bottles and queer people are not going back into the closet and women aren't going to surrender. It's a war, but I don't believe we're losing it, even if we won't win it anytime soon either; | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| e95ed57 | The stars we are given. The constellations we make. --REBECCA SOLNIT | Sarah Lewis | ||
| 7999fe1 | There are those who receive as birthright an adequate or at least unquestioned sense of self and those who set out to reinvent themselves, for survival or for satisfaction, and travel far. Some people inherit values and practices as a house they inhabit; some of us have to burn down that house, find our own ground, build from scratch, even as a psychological metamorphosis. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| d3c2636 | Six years ago, when I sat down and wrote the essay "Men Explain Things to Me," here's what surprised me: though I began with a ridiculous example of being patronized by a man, I ended with rapes and murders. We tend to treat violence and the abuse of power as though they fit into airtight categories: harassment, intimidation, threat, battery, rape, murder. But I realize now that what I was saying is: it's a slippery slope. That's why we nee.. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 9d93795 | That thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you is usually what you need to find, and finding it is a matter of getting lost. The word "lost" comes from the Old Norse los, meaning the disbanding of an army, and this origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, a truce with the wide world. I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know. Advertising, alarmist news, technology,.. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 5092991 | the language of free speech is used to protect hate speech, itself an attempt to deprive others of their freedom of speech, to scare them into shutting up. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 1961a6a | Feminism is not a scheme to deprive men but a plan to liberate us all | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| e7e73cb | Theology, sir, is a fortress; no crack in a fortress may be accounted small. | Arthur Miller | ||
| 6bc6327 | Eliminate your mother, then your two grandmothers, then your four great-grandmothers. Go back more generations and hundreds, then thousands disappear. Mothers vanish, and the fathers and mothers of those mothers. Ever more lives disappear as if unlived until you have narrowed a forest down to a tree, a web down to a line. This is what it takes to construct a linear narrative of blood or influence or meaning. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 718828e | Studies of the Surgeon General's office reveal that domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of fifteen and forty-four, more common than automobile accidents, muggings, and cancer deaths combined. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 88d0c39 | The past is set in daylight, and it can become a torch we can carry into the night that is the future. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 49e1b64 | When we are attracted, we draw near; when we draw near, the sight that attracted us dissolves: the face of the beloved blurs or fractures as one draws near for a kiss, the smooth cone of Mount Fuji becomes rough rock rising from underfoot to blot out the sky. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 1849f71 | De Certeau's metaphor suggests a frightening possibility: that if the city is a language spoken by walkers, then a postpedestrian city not only has fallen silent but risks becoming a dead language, one whose colloquial phrases, jokes, and curses will vanish, even if its formal grammar survives. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 28deda7 | Few remember that there was no significant US homeless population before the 1980s, that Ronald Reagan's new society and economy created these swollen ranks of street people. Even | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| f622de9 | The light belies the bony solidity of the land, playing over it like emotion on a face, and in this the desert is intensely alive, as the apparent mood of mountains changes hourly, as places that are flat and stark at noon fill with shadows and mystery in the evening, as darkness becomes a reservoir from which the eyes drink, as clouds promise rain that comes like passion and leaves like redemption, rain that delivers itself with thunder, w.. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| a4face3 | In the distance was the celestial drama of summer thunderstorms, clouds assembling in vast arrays that demonstrated how far the sky went and how high, that shifted from the bundled white cumulus into the deep blue of storm clouds, and when we were lucky, poured down rain and lightning and shafts of light and vapor trails like a violent redemption. It was as though the whole world consisted of the tiny close-up realm of these creatures and t.. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| d77cf61 | The end of the world was wind-scoured but peaceful, black cormorants and red starfish on wave-washed dark rocks below a sandy bluff, and beyond them all the sea spreading far and then farther. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| ee25cbb | Utopia is on the horizon," declares Eduardo Galeano. "When I walk two steps, it takes two steps back. I walk ten steps and it is ten steps further away. What is utopia for? It is for this, for walking." Judeo-Christian" | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| d2424e2 | A Freudian would claim to know what they have and I lack, but intelligence is not situated in the crotch-- | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 74c9814 | What's meant by "reproductive rights," of course, is the right of women to control their own bodies. Didn't I mention earlier that violence against women is a control issue?" | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| ab72588 | One day in Auschwitz, the writer Primo Levi recited a canto of Dante's Inferno to a companion, and the poem about hell reached out from six hundred years before to roll back Levi's despair and his dehumanization. It was the canto about Ulysses, and though it ends tragically, it contains the lines You were not made to live like animals But to pursue virtue and know the world which he recited and translated to the man walking with him. | Rebecca Solnit |
