"I'm not telling you to make the world better. I'm telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, but to live in it. To look at it. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work & take pride in it. To seize the moment"- Joan Didion ("RESURGUM", pencil on paper)

“It was almost no trick at all to turn vice into virtue, slander into truth, arrogance into humility, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character”- Joseph Heller ("POST TRUTH, ©LaurieLipton)
