Tender Quotes

“Violence is central in our lives, a constant and unavoidable reality. Experience is not a linear construct moving from one point to another - childhood to maturity, "bad" to "good," beginning to end - but a wheel turning around a point that shifts between hope and despair.
"At the still point of the turning world," the job of the artist is not to resolve or beautify, but to hold complexities, to see and make clear.”
― Toi Derricotte, Tender
