“When we think of memetic culture, it is the sausage factory of the old days.”
“Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes”

“Claudia Rankine'sÂ CitizenÂ comes at you like doom. It's the best note in the wrong song that is America. Its various realities-'mistaken' identity, social racism, the whole fabric of urban and suburban life-are almost too much to bear, but you bear them, because it's the truth.Â CitizenÂ is Rankine'sÂ Spoon River Anthology, an epic as large and frightening and beautiful as the country and various emotional states that produced it.”
“When a man gives himself up to the government of a ruling passion,--or, in other words, when his HOBBY-HORSE grows head- strong,--farewell cool reason and fair discretion.”

“Once I knew the depth where no hope was and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. My life was without a past or future, and death a consummation devoutly to be wished. But a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hands that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped up with the rapture of living. I do not know the meaning of the darkness, but I have learned the overcoming of it.”
