The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations
Toni Morrison
“We become ‘ads’ for ourselves under the pressure of the spectacle that flattens our experience of the public/private dichotomy.”

“Our past is bleak. Our future dim. But I am not reasonable. A reasonable man adjusts to his environment. And unreasonable man does not. All progress, therefore, depends on the unreasonable man. I prefer not to adjust to my environment. I refuse the prison of “I” and choose the open spaces of ‘we’.”
