“If we surrender our voice now, we surrender our ability to shape what stays human. This isn’t just about resisting progress. It’s about refusing to disappear inside it. The systems rising around us were not built to protect meaning, nuance, or soul. And if we don’t lift our voice — with intention, urgency, and truth — we risk becoming fluent in technology, but silent in humanity. This is not a warning. It’s a call to remember what must remain.” — Sarah Kissane, Obsolete: The Education Wake-Up Call”

“Well he knew that in this country, in this life, we fashion ourselves. We pick our spot and our companions and how we'll earn our keep, and that's how we go about the fashioning. Through the where of it, and the who, and the how. But it that is how we fashion ourselves, then surely it follows that with the loss of each of these elements comes the winnowing away. The burying of one's spouse, the retirement from the job, the moving from one's home where one has lived for twenty-two years - this is the undoing, the unmaking. It is through this process that time and intent reclaim the solitary soul for its grander purpose.”
