“Wilderness is rapidly becoming one of those aspects of the American dream which is more of the past than of the present. Wilderness is not only a condition of nature, but a state of mind and mood and heart. It cannot be confined to the museum-case status—seen only as a passing diorama from superlative throughways.” MindHeartStatesDreamPastCasesConditionsBecomingAspectMoodPassingPassingsWildernessMuseumsState Of MindAmerican DreamConfinedBecoming OneSuperlatives Book:Celebrating the American Earth: a Portfolio Source: Celebrating the American Earth: a Portfolio

“Think about the pressure to "pass" by lying about one's agethat familiar temptation to falsify a condition of one's birth oridentity and pretend to be part of a more favored group. Fair-skinned blacks invented "passing" as a term, Jews escaping anti-Semitism perfected the art, and the sexual closet continues the punishment, but pretending to be a younger age is probably the most encouraged form of "passing," with the least organized support for "coming out" as one's true generational self.” ThinkingArtSelfAgeFormLyingTermSupportGenerationsGroupsConditionsIdentityBirthFairsPressureJewPunishmentPassingFamiliarPassingsTemptationOrganizedPretendingComing OutClosetsEscapingAnti SemitismAgeism Author:Gloria Steinem
“Genius in the poet, like the nomad of Arabia, ever a wanderer, still ever makes a home where the well or the palm-tree invites it to pitch the tent. Perpetually passing out of himself and his own positive circumstantial condition of being into other hearts and into other conditions, the poet obtains his knowledge of human life by transporting his own life into the lives of others.” HumansWellsHeartStillsHomeTreeConditionsPoetGeniusPassingPassingsHuman LifeInvitesPalmsArabiaTentsLives Of OthersNomadWanderersPalm TreesPassing Out Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
