|  In so far as one denies what is, one is possessed by what is not, the compulsions, the fantasies, the terrors that flock to fill the void. | | As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope. | | The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next. | | It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end. | | What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy? | | I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy. | | The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so. | | The power of the harasser, the abuser, the rapist depends above all on the silence of women. | | Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. |
