More From Rebecca Solnit

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.
Interesting Adjectives Size
Do not be afraid of large patterns, if properly designed they are more restful to the eye than small ones: on the whole, a pattern where the structure is large and the details much broken up is the most useful...very small rooms, as well as very large ones, look better ornamented with large patterns.
Eye Small Rooms Broken
Can it be possible that all human sympathies can thrive, and all human powers be exercised, and all human joys increase, if we live with all our might with the thirty or forty people next to us, telegraphing kindly to all other people, to be sure? can it be possible that our passion for large cities, and large parties, and large theatres, and large churches, develops no faith nor hope nor love which would not find aliment and exercise in a little "world of our own"?
Party Passion Exercise
The spirit in the body is like wine in a glass; when it spills, it seeps into air and earth and light….it’s a mistake to think it’s the small things we control and not the large, it’s the other way around! we can’t stop the small accident, the tiny detail that conspires into fate: the extra moment you run back for something forgotten, a moment that saves you from an accident – or causes one. but we can assert the largest order, the large human values daily, the only order large enough to see.
Running Mistake Wine
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Love Forgiveness Attitude
How do we define, how do we describe, how do we explain and/or understand ourselves? what sort of creatures do we take ourselves to be? what are we? who are we? why are we? how do we come to be what or who we are or take ourselves to be? how do we give an account of ourselves? how do we account for ourselves, our actions, interactions, transactions (praxis), our biologic processes? our specific human existence?
