Matter
The contemporary world’s work has become policing, forming policy regarding, and trying to administrate the perpetual movement of people. Nationhood—the very definition of citizenship—is marked by exile, refugees, guest arbiter, immigrants, migrations, the displaced, the fleeing, and the under siege. Hunger for home is entombed among the central metaphors in the discourse on globalism, transnationalism, nationalism, the breakup of nations, and the fictions of sovereignty. Yet these dreams of home are frequently as raced themselves as the originating racial house that has defined them. When they are not raced, they are, as I suggested earlier, landscape, never inscape; utopia, never home.
Toni Morrison, Race Matters, The Source of Self-Regard.

“What one does not wish to change can be the desirable condition realized, and it’s where aesthetic and ethical standards meet.”
“…beauty can be both what one does not wish to change and where one wishes to go…”
“Beauty is not only formal…it lies in patterns of meaning, in invocations of values, and in connection to the life the reader is living and the world she wants to see.”
