In โlife,โ I donโt want to be reduced to my work. In โwork,โ I donโt want to be reduced to my life.
Susan SontagThe only ideals allowed are healthy ones - those everyone may aspire to, or comfortably imagine oneself possessing.
Susan SontagIt's not 'natural' to speak well, eloquently, in an interesting, articulate way. People living in groups, families, communes say little - have few verbal means. Eloquence - thinking in words - is a byproduct of solitude, deracination, a heightened painful individuality. In groups, it's more natural to sing, to dance, to pray: given, rather than invented (individual) speech.
