"dreaming of becoming a writer, valuing the life of the mind above all things... but have not love, i am nothing... remaining open to love was crucial for my academic survival"
this. I spent so much time in college denying myself love because I thought accomplishment was the purpose of it all... until I realized that my accomplishments are nothing if there is nothing connecting the love in my heart to what I create.
I love the way in which love and politics are interwoven here. Also, I love the way I can get such a great feel for the text through the quotes you've chosen:)
