  1. A quotation from Emerson

    People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them. Life is a series of surprises.

    Essay (1841), “Circles,” Essays: First Series, No. 10

  2. How do you show your social value in a way that’s instantly recognizable?

    "The meaning ascribed to race in the nightclub setting was related to perceptions of safety. The bouncers (many of whom are Black or Latino) claimed that letting Black or Latino Americans in might jeopardize safety at the club. However, Rivera says she saw fights between white customers frequently."

  7. A quotation from #Pratchett, Terry:

    «««««
    The suggestion that the world could be completely other than it is always annoys those who are content with the way things are. #Stories of #imagination tend to upset those without one. #Rulers are suspicious of new worlds where their writ does not run. #Jailers don’t like #escapism.
