Yadda, yadda, yadda
Rebecca Solnit
Precision, accuracy, and clarity matter, as gestures of respect toward those to whom you speak; toward the subject, whether it’s an individual or the earth itself; and toward the historical record. It’s also a kind of self-respect… The search for meaning is in how you live your life but also in how you describe it and what else is around you.
– Rebecca Solnit, from Call Them by Their True Names
