More From Zadie Smith

First thoughts are the everyday thoughts. everyone has those. second thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. people who enjoy thinking have those. third thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. they’re rare, and often troublesome. listening to them is part of witchcraft.
Thinking People Everyday
Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.
Dream Pain Night
Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one
Baby Hate Real
I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
Women themselves condition their daughters to serve the system of male primacy. if a daughter challenges it, the mother will generally defend the system rather than her daughter. these mothers, victims themselves, have unwittingly become wounded wounders. women need to attack culture's oppression of women, for there truly is a godlike socializing power that induces women to "buy in" or collude, but we also need to confront our own part in accepting male dominance and take responsibility where appropriate.
Mother Daughter Women
Everyone wants rather to be pleasing to women and that desire is not altogether, though it is very largely, a manifestation of vanity. but one cannot aim to be pleasing to women any more than one can aim to have taste, or beauty of expression, or happiness; for these things are not specific aims which one may learn to attain; they are descriptions of the adequacy of one's living. to try to be happy is to try to build a machine with no other specification than that it shall run noiselessly.
