    The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.

    a child who traced voyages
    indelibly all over the atlas, who now in a far country
    remembers the first river, the first
    field, bricks and lumber dumped in it ready for building,
    that new smell, and remembers
    the walls of the garden, the first light.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.
    Joan Didion (b. 1935)

    You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.
