A woman's gifts will make room for her.
We're looking at catastrophic impacts in our lifetime, not only that every month now we're setting a new World Almanac record.
The Obama Administration has embraced the policies of George W. Bush, and then gone much further. Wall Street bailouts went ballistic under Obama-$700 billion under Bush, but $4. 5 trillion under Obama, plus another $16 trillion in zero-interest loans for Wall Street.
We call for cancelling student debt, for bailing out young people like Wall Street was bailed out to the tune of $16 trillion.
We need a broad commitment to human rights across the board. We cannot attain that simply by protecting one oppressed group or the other.
We also call for free public education going forward. We know it pays for itself.
The other piece of this is that we call for cutting our bloated and dangerous military budget. And this is something that is made possible by moving to 100% clean renewable energy, where we cannot justify wars for oil, and where we cannot justify having some 700, 800 bases gathered around the world in something like 100 countries in significant measure protecting either access to fossil fuels or protecting routes of transportation.
All thoughts are just junk. Essentially, they are coming from the limited experience of past. These thoughts are useful for your survival process. You've picked up some amount of information; you want to survive in the world; this information is useful. If you're looking at life itself, these thoughts are meaningless.
Perhaps there is no other way of reaching some understanding of being than through art? Writers themselves don't analyze what they do; to analyze would be to look down while crossing a canyon on a tightrope. To say this is not to mystify the process of writing but to make an image out of the intense inner concentration the writer must have to cross the chasms of the aleatory and make them the word's own, as an explorer plants a flag.
There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.
Curiosity is the essence of human existence.
