Book cover for Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses
Having words for these forms makes the differences between them so much more obvious. With words at your disposal, you can see more clearly. Finding the words is another step in learning to see.

Claudia Piñeiro
“Con los años no es que se profundice lo peor de uno, sino que por fin sale a la luz.”
Claudia Piñeiro, Betibú

Delphine de Vigan
“Les loyautés.
Ce sont des liens invisibles qui nous attachent aux autres - aux morts comme aux vivants-, ce sont des promesses que nous avons murmurées et dont nous ignorons l'écho, des fidélités silencieuses, ce sont des contrats, passés le plus souvent avec nous-mêmes, des mots d'ordre admis sans les avoir entendus, des dettes que nous abritons dans les replis de nos mémoires.
Ce sont les lois de l'enfance qui sommeillent à l'intérieur de nos corps, les valeurs au nom desquelles nous nous tenons droits, les fondements qui nous permettent de résister, les principes illisibles qui nous rongent et nous enferment. Nos ailes et nos carcans.
Ce sont les tremplins sur lesquels nos forces se déploient et les tranchées dans lesquelles nous enterrons nos rêves.”
Delphine de Vigan, Les Loyautés

Robyn Davidson
“It seems to me that the good lord in his infinate wisdom gave us three things to make life bearable- hope, jokes, and dogs. But the greatest of these was dogs.”
Robyn Davidson, Tracks: A Woman's Solo Trek Across 1700 Miles of Australian Outback

Jon Krakauer
“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Marina Abramović
“Once, Picasso was asked what his paintings meant. He said, “Do you ever know what the birds are singing? You don’t. But you listen to them anyway.” So, sometimes with art, it is important just to look.”
Marina Abramović
