A life that is not given so that humble and insignificant people can 
live, is a wasted life.  

Anna Politkovskaya

I take a perverse approach to anything that is offered as simplistic or 
finished or universal. My tendency to any of that is to turn it upside 
down. Or go at it sideways. Or break it apart. I'm very leery of 
anything which is presented as being simple, neat, and finished. I have 
strong doubts about any of those things. The human condition defies 
simple, neat, finished. I think part of our destiny as human is to 
prove that those things are not productive, or are not appropriate for 
creative growth.

Shirley Brice Heath
