Books and the Bottoms: End of the Quarter

"Somewhere between prayer and revolution....:"

"This is what we were all doing, lumbering our minds with literature that only served to cloud the really vital situation spread before our eyes...I am simply smothered and sickened with advantages. It is like eating a sweet dessert the first thing in the morning. This, then, was the difficulty, this sweet dessert in the morning and the assumption that the sheltered, educated girl has nothing to do with the bitter poverty and the social maladjustment which is all around her, and which, after all, cannot be concealed, for it breaks through poetry and literature in a burning tide which overwhelms her." -Jane Addams, Twenty Years at Hull-House

End of the Quarter

"I move on to another day
to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought,
got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.

You don't know where and you don't know when.
But you've still got your words and you've got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way."

-Modest Mouse, "World at Large"
