Quote by Vincent Fortier

“Nous gardons la parole. Nous ne divulguons jamais où se trouve la ruelle où nous baisons, où s’étend la plage où nous nous dévêtons, où s’élève le bâtiment où nous dansons. Croix de bois, croix de fer. Ces lieux sont à nous ; les dévoiler au grand jour, de façon ostentatoire, nous mettrait en danger, c’est aussi simple que ça.”

“The spirit of the place is not not friendly. Meals begin in silence; once everyone is seated, someone slaps the wooden clackers and leads a little chant. The food is often amazingly good, and despite the growing number of vegans in the ranks, heaps of delicious cheese are often melted and sprinkled and layered into the hot things that come out of the kitchen. At breakfast, watch the very senior people deal with rice gruel, and you'll know enough to spike yours with brown sugar and stir in some whole milk or cream, and you could do much worse on a morning in March. ("You can't change your karma, but you can sweeten your cereal," whispered an elderly priest when I nobly and foolishly added nothing to that blob in my bowl during my first stay at the farm.) Once eating is under way, the common dining room looks rather like a high school cafeteria; there are insider and outsider tables, and it is often easy to spot the new students and short-term guests—they're a few minutes late because they haven't memorized the schedule; they're smiling bravely, wielding their dinner trays like steering wheels, weaving around, desperately looking for a public parking space, hoping someone will wave or smile or otherwise signal them to safety I asked a practice leader about this, and she said she knew it was hard but people have to get over their self consciousness; for some newcomers, she said, that's zazen, that's their meditative practice. I think that's what I mean by not not friendly”

It’s the power to stand up and have a positive impact in your life and in the world, and to be a force for good in a world that needs it today, and will continue to need it if there is a tomorrow.”

“Il en va des paysages comme des êtres ou des musiques qui nous bouleversent. Ils nous précipitent au cœur de nous-mêmes et nous jettent bien au-delà d'eux dans un mouvement violent, douloureux, lumineux. On en revient différent et tout étonné d'avoir approché le feu qui ressemble si fort à la vérité, et que ce soit si simple. On sait qu'il faudra recommencer, être attentif, réceptif, disponible parce que chaque instant et chaque émotion tournent comme la lumière du jour.”

“Ain’ no Black people need no therapists, ’cause we don’ be havin’ those mental issues. OCD, ADD, PTSD, and all those other acronyms they be comin’ up with every day. I’m tellin’ you, the only acronyms Black folk need help with is the NYPD, FBI, CIA, KKK, and KFC, ’cause I know they be puttin’ shit in those twelve-piece bucket meals to make us addicted to them. All that saturated fat, sodium.”
