James Taylor

Experience, Rain, Live

Cats and their owners are on a private, exclusive loop of affection. Thus cats have become symbolic of a community eschewed and a hyper-engagement with oneself.

Sloane Crosley

Become, Anyone, Growing

Tony Kushner

Great, Evil, Feeling

One of the profound effects of economics in our day is that the people with the money and the power have embraced the guilt-free, external-less, everything-will-turn-out-okay-in-the-end philosophy of economics in order to justify their own evil works. And the economists, for the most part, have sucked up to that money.
Jane Smiley

Money, Power, Evil
