More From Rebecca Solnit

There is a subset of democrats who tend to mis-fill out ballots. the way you mark the ballot is like an s.a.t. - you fill in the circle. and the subset of people who tend to, like, put a check there instead, or an x, or fill it out wrong, tend to be people who didn't take s.a.t.s, or first-time voters, or people with english as a second language.

Aren't you ashamed, you who walk backward along the whole path of existence, and blame me for walking backward along the path of the promenade?
Path Blame Existence
Zen has an expression, "nothing special." when you understand "nothing special," you realize that everything is special. everything's special and nothing's special. everything's spiritual and nothing's spiritual. it's how you see, it's what eyes you're looking through, that matters.
Spiritual Eye Expression
There is a slow-growing beauty which only comes to perfection in old age.... i have seen sweeter smiles on a lip of seventy than i ever saw on a lip of seventeen. there is the beauty of youth, and there is also the beauty of holiness—a beauty much more seldom met; and more frequently found in the arm-chair by the fire, with grandchildren around its knee, than in the ball-room or the promenade.

You know the best thing about aeroplanes? apart from the peanuts in little silver bags, i mean. it's looking out of the windows at the clouds and thinking maybe i could go walking in there. maybe it's a special place where everything's okay. sometimes i do go walking in the clouds but it's just cold and wet and empty. but when you look out of a plane it's a special world... and i like it.

The republicans love to say that the democratic party is ruled by 'special interests.' but when pressed to name these 'special interests,' the usual reply is women, blacks, teachers, and unions. those are 'special interests' to be proud of - because together they comprise the majority of americans. what about the 'special interests' that dominate the republican party - the oil companies, the banks, the gun lobby, and the apostles of religious intolerance?

I could have been, and may one day well be a high school english teacher, because i've been given so much i just feel like i have to give something back. the fact that some people consider my work to be good or strong, it's nice, but i know in my heart that if it's not coming - oftentimes it's probably not coming from the best place.

Educational bureaucracies dull a child's questing sensitivity. the young must be dampened down. never let them know how good they can be. that brings change. spend lots of committee time talking about how to deal with exceptional students. don't spend any time dealing with how the conventional teacher feels threatened by emerging talents and squelches them because of a deep-seated desire to feel superior and safe in a safe environment.
