“During the Vietnam War… every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”—Kurt Vonnegut via
"It was all rigmarole, of course, but it consumed all one’s energies, coming on top of the work one really wanted to do. You can see how easy it was, then, not to think about fundamental things. One had no time." (via @missrobin.bsky.social via @jordandavis.bsky.social)
"I've lost your voice
in this useless milieu
solitude
that seemed such a burden
I see now, was my torch"
--Eve Castle via
