Quoted in the Grove:
You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.
~James Baldwin
When you re-read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in yourself than there was before.
~Clifton Fadiman
No two persons ever read the same book.
~Edmund Wilson
EndQuote:
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

Prewritten: politics, orgasm
“Ninth” by Piffin
I think of all the plans I had, at night
When I am up alone
The politics of ordinary lives
Can wear us to the bone
So many lives inside my heart
Sometimes
I lose track of my own
The girl I was
Would never choose this road
If she had only known
I’ve never had an orgasm
I’m willing to regret
Or a broken heart
That I will soon forget
But every time I see myself
These days, I laugh aloud
Or cry
Depending on the crowd
I might not live the month out
Or I may
I’m okay, either way
At least I’ll leave a piece of me
Behind
To ruin someone’s day
I sit and watch the sun set
Beyond my quiet street
And everything I’ve done
Feels like defeat
Everything
Feels like defeat

The politics of excess
Of chaste vs chased sex
Kinky sex that money buys
Mating sex or otherwise
