“When I was young, there was never any space for me to get attention of my own that wasn't negative. Art, and the practice of making art, was the only space that was mine alone, where I could be anyone and do anything, where just by using my head and my hands I could cry, or laugh, or get pissed off.” ArtHandsYoungMy OwnSpaceAttentionPracticeLaughingCryMinesNegativePissed Off Author:Kim Gordon
“Agential realism is not a manifesto, it does not take for granted that all is or will or can be made manifest. On the contrary, it is a call, a plea, a provocation, a cry, a passionate yearning for an appreciation of, attention to the tissue of ethicality that runs through the world.” WorldDoeMadeRunningAttentionCryPassionateAppreciationContraryGrantedManifestYearningRealismTissuesProvocationManifestos Author:Karen Barad

“There is no sin worse in life than being boring--and nothing worse than letting other people tell you what to do. I was one of the few heiresses to walk the runway as a model. A lot of people thought that was shocking. Why did I do it? Was it a desperate cry for attention, like the papers said? Hardly. It's not like I need any more attention. Did I do it for money? Of course not. Modeling doesn't pay that well, anyway, unless you're Gisele or Cindy Crawford, or, like Patti Hansen, you get to marry a rock star. I did it because it was fun.” PeopleNeedsWellsSaidCoursesFunStarsSinWalksPayAttentionRocksCryPaperModelsBoringDesperateShockingPapersModelingRock StarRunwayCindyHeiress Book:Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose Source: Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose
“Capitalism with near-full employment was an impressive spectacle. But a growth in wealth is not at all the same thing as reducing poverty. A universal paean was raised in praise of growth. Growth was going to solve all problems. No need to bother about poverty. Growth will lift up the bottom and poverty will disappear without any need to pay attention to it. The economists, who should have known better, fell in with the same cry.” NeedsShouldProblemGrowthWealthPayAttentionKnownPovertyCryCapitalismEconomicsShould HaveUniversalPraiseRaisedBottomSolveDisappearEmploymentLiftsPay AttentionBotherEconomistImpressiveReducingShould Have KnownShould Have Known BetterReducing Poverty Book:Contributions to Modern Economics Source: Contributions to Modern Economics
“I came out of the nine-hour surgery and I had tubes in every direction, and those nurses at the Mayo Clinic, I could cry for four days at the kindness of those nurses.

“By not paying attention to your body, you are putting it in the same predicament as a neglected child. How can a child be expected to develop normally if the parents pay no attention, if they ignore its cries for help, and remain indifferent to whether their child is happy or unhappy?” IfsChildrenHelpingBodyParentPayAttentionCryExpectedYour BodyUnhappyPay AttentionIndifferentNeglectedPredicamentsNeglected Child Author:Deepak Chopra
