We don’t know what is going to happen, or how, or when, and that very uncertainty is the space of hope.
Hope in the Dark
Rebecca Solnit
The point is that in the context of a given historical moment, the individual and collective endeavors of a wide range of intellectuals, from the most distinguished to the popularizers and the hacks, whatever their self-defined aims, constitute the assemblage of knowledge that underpins the dominance of a given ruling class. __These intellectual endeavors mesh together with the material realities to form a historical bloc in which infrastructure and superstructures are entwined in a unified, if fractured, entity.__
Gramsci's Common Sense
Kate Crehan
He stood for a moment taking in the peace of that plain room, letting a part of his mind turn loose to stray off and imagine what it might be like to live there, in that house, with her as his wife. Of late, he was inclined to imagine another life, elsewhere, and wondered if this was not something in his blood; might his own father not have been one of those who had upped, suddenly, and taken the boat for England? __It seemed both proper and at the same time deeply unfair that so much of life was left to chance.__
