More From Rebecca Solnit

It's fear of the unknown. the unknown is what it is. and to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. unknown is what it is. accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. that's what it is. right?

It is the job of artists to open doors and invite in prophesies, the unknown, the unfamiliar; it’s where their work comes from, although its arrival signals the beginning of the long disciplined process of making it their own. scientists too, as j. robert oppenheimer once remarked, ‘live always at the ‘edge of mystery’­—the boundary of the unknown.’ but they transform the unknown into the known, haul it in like fishermen; artists get you out into that dark sea.

There are some political issues where mainstream press attention only hurts. we think about activism as being this generic model of consciousness-raising, then hopefully media attention, attraction of new people to your cause, building public support for your cause, then decision-makers reacting to that change in public opinion. that's true for some types of activism, but it is not true for all of them.

When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn back against your future. when you do forgive, you start walking forward.
