“Change isn't optional, and creation isn't something that happened a long time ago and then ended. It's ongoing, and we are invited to be a part of it. The question for us is 'what will we create in this new day?' How will we make it count? How will we nourish the things that matter, and stand in the way of injustice in the small ways that add up to the arc of history? You are invited to participate in the creation of this day.” WayLongMatterChangeCreativityHappenedCreationLong TimeAddInjusticeThis DayInvitedOngoingLong Time AgoNew DayArcsThings That MatterOptionalMake It Count Author:David LaMotte
“[Keeping kosher was] the symbol of an initiation, like the insignia of a secret brotherhood, that set her apart and gave her freedom and dignity. Every law whose yoke she accepted willingly seemed to add to her freedom: she herself had chosen . . . To enter that brotherhood. Her Judaism was no longer a stigma, a meaningless accident of birth from which she could escape . . . It had become a distinction, the essence of her self-hood, what she was, what she wanted to be, not merely what she happened to be.” SelfWantedLawReligionWomenSecretHappenedBirthDignityEssenceAddAccidentsAcceptedChosenSymbolsDistinctionMeaninglessBrotherhoodJudaismHoodStigmaYokeInitiationKosher Author:Jessie Sampter
“I think there's an element to this business that writers especially are overlooked in many ways and this made everybody kind of look at us differently.

“My so-called bad dress-sense phase happened when I was confused - I think I was taking advice all too often, without listening to my inner voice.

“You're always thinking, "What does that add up to?" You can't really get a handle on it. I was curious. I felt like it would be an interesting challenge for me to write down what I'd seen and done and learned - all the convolutions captured in one item that I could look at and get some grip on what the hell happened.” ThinkingWritingLooksDoeDoneWould BeFeltChallengesInterestingHellHappenedAddHandleCuriousItemsUp To YouCapturedAlways Thinking Author:Richard Hell
“Sometimes it's not like I write very specific, it's more like I add an atmosphere almost to something that might have been quite awkward in my mind from the beginning. Something has happened and I want to force myself to think of it in a more positive way. And then I force myself to write something that convinces me that this is actually something pretty good or something that I learned something valuable from.” ThinkingWayWantWritingMindHas BeensSometimesMightForceHappenedAddValuableAtmosphereConvinceAwkwardMight Have Been Author:Jens Lekman
