No, I mean the little transitions, like the one between waking up and putting my feet on the floor. Or between turning off the car and going into the house. Or between getting out of the shower and getting dressed. You can see why life has been very, very hard for me. —Alison Luterman More about this quote Tags: life death birth divorce transitions moving Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
This is an age of divorce. Things that belong together have been taken apart. And you can't put it all back together again. What you do is the only thing that you can do: you take two things that ought to be together and you put them back together. Two things, not all things! That's the way the work has to go. You make connections in your work… That's what we do, we people who make things. If it's a stool or a film or a poem or an essay or a novel or a musical composition, it's all about that. Finding how it fits together and fitting it together. —Wendell Berry More about this quote Tags: people poetry work divorce together apart connections Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
