“If there are no films or plays of interest to me, I don't go. I know how to go to a museum or a library or pick up a good magazine or I can watch the sun set. I know how to live. There's a whole creation out there full of magic and wonder to be explored.” IfsKnowsI CanPlayWholeFilmInterestWonderWatchesKnow HowSunMagicCreationPicksLibraryMagazinesMuseumsSun Set Author:Phylicia Rashad
“I resolve to venture into the city on my own. I look at maps in the library—subway maps, bus maps, and regular maps—and try to memorize them. I’m afraid of getting lost; no, I’m afraid of sinking into the city as in a quicksand, afraid of getting sucked into something I can never escape.” TryingLooksI CanLostMy OwnCitiesLibraryMapsResolveBusVentureSinkingSubwayGetting LostQuicksand Author:Deborah Feldman
“I'm much more willing to buy a novel electronically by someone I don't know. Because if halfway through I think, I don't really like this, I can just stop. I can't throw books out, even if I think they're crummy. I feel like I've got to give it to the library. I've got to loan it to somebody, or I keep it on my shelf. It's like a plant.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingFeelsI CanBookNovelWillingPlantLibraryShelvesLoanHalfway Author:Susan Orlean
