“There is no such thing as a minor lapse of integrity”
“There's no such thing as a minor lapse of awareness. You're either present with what is--right here, right now--or you're someplace else.”
“If you are a woman, if you are a person of colour, if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, if you are a person of size, if you are person of intelligence, if you are a person of integrity, then you are considered a minority in this world.”
“But truths need to be repeated many times so that they don't, poor things, lapse into oblivion.”
“Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.”
“Then we lapse into silence. It's these silences that do damage, that reveal glimpses of the distressed foundation struggling under the weight of things.”
