More From Ann Richards

Prepare a little hot tea or broth and it should be brought to them . . . without their being asked if they would care for it. those who are in great distress want no food, but if it is handed to them, they will mechanically take it ' ... there was something arresting about the matter-of-fact wisdom here, the instinctive understanding of the physiological disruptions... i will not forget the instinctive wisdom of the friend who, every day for those first few weeks, brought me a quart container of scallion-and-ginger congee from chinatown. congee i could eat. congee was all i could eat.
Understanding Tea Hot
With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, i was made clearly to understand that i had no friends, that i was alone in the world. because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither i nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.

The intellectual is not defined by professional group and type of occupation. nor are good upbringing and a good family enough in themselves to produce an intellectual. an intellectual is a person whose interest in and preoccupation with the spiritual side of life are insistent and constant and not forced by external circumstances, even flying in the face of them. an intellectual is a person whose thought is nonimitative.

The woman who fights against her father still has the possibility of leading an instinctive, feminine existence, because she rejects only what is alien to her. but when she fights against the mother she may, at the risk of injury to her instincts, attain to greater consciousness, because in repudiating the mother she repudiates all that is obscure, instinctive, ambiguous, and unconscious in her own nature.
Mother Father Fighting
It is exceptional that one should be able to acquire the understanding of a process without having previously acquired a deep familiarity with running it, with using it, before one has assimilated it in an instinctive and empirical way... thus any discussion of the nature of intellectual effort in any field is difficult, unless it presupposes an easy, routine familiarity with that field. in mathematics this limitation becomes very severe.
Running Effort Understanding
It places value on experience versus intellectual understanding. i saw a lot of people contemplating things but it didn't seem to lead to too many places. i got very interested in people who had discovered something more significant than an intellectual, abstract understanding.

I have a feeling that books are a lot like people - they change as you age, so that some books that you hated in high school will strike you with the force of a revelation when you're older.
