Oliver Sacks
“For here is a man who, in some sense, is desperate, in a frenzy. The world keeps disappearing, losing meaning, vanishing - and he must seek meaning, make meaning, in a desperate way, continually inventing, throwing bridges of meaning over abysses of meaninglessness, the chaos that yawns continually beneath him.”
Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales

Aristotle
“Memory is the scribe of the soul”
Aristotle

Susan Sontag
“I want to be able to be alone, to find it nourishing - not just a waiting.”
Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

Richard Siken
“with this bullet lodged in my chest, covered with your name, I will turn myself into a gun, because
it’s all I have,
because I’m hungry and hollow and just want something to call my own. I’ll be your slaughterhouse, your killing floor, your morgue and final resting, walking around with this
bullet inside me
‘cause I couldn’t make you love me and I’m tired of pulling your teeth.”
Richard Siken, Crush

W.H. Auden
“A poet's hope: to be, like some valley cheese, local, but prized elsewhere.”
W.H. Auden
