“We abide by cultural directives that urge us: clarify each thought, each experience, so that you can cull from them their single, dominant meaning and, in the process, become a responsible adult who knows what he or she thinks.

Richard Foreman, quoted by Maggie Nelson in The Art of Cruelty (via invisiblestories)
