The Poor Have Often Been Subversive Just

More From Rebecca Solnit

Forsooth, brethren, fellowship is heaven and lack of fellowship is hell; fellowship is life and lack of fellowship is death; and the deeds that ye do upon the earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them.

Brutes abstract not. -- if it may be doubted, whether beasts compound and enlarge their ideas, that way, to any degree; this, i think, i may be positive in, that the power of abstracting is not at all in them; and that the having of general ideas is that which puts a perfect distinction betwixt man and brutes, and is an excellency which the faculties of brutes do by no means attain to.

What nobler relationship than that of friend? what nobler compliment can man bestow than friendship? the bonds and ties of the life we know break easily, but through eternity one bond remains - the bond of fellowship - the fellowship of atoms, of star dust in its endless flight, of suns and worlds, of gods and men. the clasped hands of comradeship unite in a bond eternal - the fellowship of spirit.

Because god is not only infinitely greater and more excellent than all other being, but he is the head of the universal system of existence; the foundation and fountain of all being and all beauty; from whom all is perfectly derived, and on whom all is most absolutely and perfectly dependent; of whom, and through whom, and to whom is all being and all perfection; and whose being and beauty are, as it were, the sum and comprehension of all existence and excellence: much more than the sun is the fountain and summary comprehension of all the light and brightness of the day.
Light Perfection Excellence
When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

Great artists make the roads; good teachers and good companions can point them out. but there ain't no free rides, baby. no hitchhiking. and if you want to strike out in any new direction — you go alone. with a machete in your hand and the fear of god in your heart.

Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process, where one rehearses constantly while acting, sits as a spectator at a play one directs, engages every part in order to keep the choices open and the shape alive for the student, so that the student may enter in, and begin to do what the teacher has done: make choices.

I did not consider that i would lead a literary life. i'd thought initially, as a young girl, that i would be a teacher, since i so admired many of my teachers. and though i loved writing, i did not ever think of myself as a writer.
