“Although I have considered writing a novel, my wheelhouse is not in fiction, and even it it were, my writing would center around black forests and wolves, with characters all in half-costume, half-awake, and half gone to seed. When I was younger, I would write in riddles and rhymes, whereas in recent years, I have started writing with old words which are so obscure that people falsely assume that they are simply made-up words, in the trademark great reverent style that is uniquely mine.” Thomas Slatin

“When I was a little girl, I listed and wrote down my dreams. People laughed at me and said I’d never accomplish any of them. Now that I’ve accomplished every single one, I’m the one who now has the right to laugh.” Thomas Slatin

Something that has always bewildered me is that in capitalist societies, if someone hoards objects, they are called a hoarder, but whenever someone hoards money to the point that they impoverish others, they are called successful. Thomas Slatin
