“Time will multiply whatever you feed it.

Good habits make time your ally. Bad habits make time your enemy.”

Ours is the work of helping others hold those artifacts and insights in their hands, however briefly, and of considering what ought to be reserved from the ever-sucking vortex of oblivion—and why. It’s the calling known as education, which the literary theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak once defined as the “non-coercive rearranging of desire.”

This feels to me like pointing at daisies along the train tracks as an actual locomotive screams up from behind.

I don't want to manage knowledge. I want to live it.
