"What in thinking only occasionally and quasi-metaphorically happens, to retreat from the world of appearances, takes place in aging and dying as an appearanceâ€¦ in this sense thinking is an anticipation of dying (ceasing, â€˜to cease to be among menâ€™) just as action in the sense of â€˜to make a beginningâ€™ is a repetition of birth."

-- Hannah

Knowing that being grown up was no swell place to be means that you are grown up enough to notice. And you can’t go back from there. You have to forge another route, draw your own map.”

“Debate doesnâ€™t really change things. It gets you bogged in deeper. If you can address or reopen the subject with something new, something from a different angle, then there is some hope. ... People are suddenly gazing at something else and pausing for a moment. And for the duration of that gaze and pause, they are like reflectors of the totality of their own knowledge and/or ignorance. Thatâ€™s something poetry can do for you, it can entrance you for a moment above the pool of your own consciousness and your own possibilities.”
