Rebecca Solnit
“The treadmill is a corollary to the suburb and the autotropolis: a device with which to go nowhere in places where there is nowhere to go.”
Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking

Shirley Jackson
“Everything that makes the world like it is now will be gone. We'll have new rules and new ways of living. Maybe there'll be a law not to live in houses, so then no one can hide from anyone else, you see.”
Shirley Jackson, The Lottery and Other Stories
