“The thing about the summit region of Mount Washington, it can have areas that are flat and rolling. In those conditions, it's very difficult not to become disoriented, because it's not like you're on a face where you know what's up and what's down. You're on a flat surface. Every direction is the same in a white-out condition. And with wind speeds constantly changing direction, within a minute you have no idea where you are.” KnowsIdeasFacesDifficultWhiteMinutesConditionsWindLike YouAreasSurfaceSpeedNo IdeaRegionsFlatsWhere You AreRollingSummit Author:Hugh Herr
“Ordinary people like you and me can achieve very little on their own. We need to build support.

“When you're trying to create something and you need to hang out, in not knowing, in all the cracks and spaces where you feel lost, and you need to endure them, and have new ideas come out of that emptiness, well, the Internet is what we do when we feel lost, you know? Like, you go online or you check your email when you don't know what to do next, and so it's not helpful, in that sense.” KnowsNeedsFeelsTryingWellsIdeasNextLostSpaceKnowingLike YouInternetEndureChecksEmptinessOnlineHelpfulHanging OutCracksNot KnowingNew IdeasEmailLost You Author:Miranda July
“The idea of feeling displaced, and never feeling safe anywhere in the world, where you always feel like you're safer if you're over there, is not just my experience. If you went to Iran today or an Iranian came to America today, or the fact that there are bombs exploding everywhere, there's just a tremendous sense of fear and feeling a desire for security.” IfsWorldFeelsIdeasFactsFeelingsTodayAmericaDesireSecurityLike YouSafeBombsIranIranianExplodingAmerica Today Author:Shirin Neshat
