““If we commit ourselves to one person for life, this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom; rather, it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession but participation.””

- Madeleine L’Engle

[sigh] How I love Madeleine. Let me count the ways…

“…if you’re in a frame of mind gloomy enough to refuse prayer, despite its having worked bona fide miracles for you before, nothing satisfies like a dark poem. Maybe wrestling with gnarly language occupies the loud and simian chatter of a dismayed mind, but for me the relief comes to some extent from a hookup to another creature. The compassion innate in having someone–however remote–verbalize your despair or lend a form to it can salve the jibbering psyche.”

- from the afterword to Sinners Welcome by Mary Karr, p.74

““I feel as an artist that my job is to try and understand the forces that are shaping the world that our songs occupy. And maybe, if you get a chance, try to shape it. That’s what the band didn’t understand. They thought the natural flak that we would receive for daring to want to play with the big boys, philosophically and every other way, would frighten our audience away. But actually our audience feels much more powerful.””

“Ultimately, it’s always going to boil down to: Did I [care]? Was I having a good time? But the integration of the things can be exciting, if it’s approached the way everything needs to be approached — which is artistically.”

- Joss Whedon (creator of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) on how to handle creating content for differing media outlets. Great advice for life, I say…

“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”
