A quote (cognate with quota) is a cut, a section, a slice of someone else’s orange. You suck the slice, toss the rind, skate away. Part of what you enjoy in a documentary technique is the sense of banditry. To loot someone else’s life or sentences and make off with a point of view, which is called “objective” because you can make anything into an object by treating it this way, is exciting and dangerous.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt; Anne Carson, ”Foam (Essay with Rhapsody): On the Sublime in Longinus and Antonioni” in Decreation: Poetry, Essays, Opera, 2006 (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://whateverjeanne.tumblr.com/"&gt;whateverjeanne&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://simplythebess.tumblr.com/post/50891376486</link><guid>http://simplythebess.tumblr.com/post/50891376486</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 02:43:38 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Abercrombie Just Got Served: Ellen Is Like a Decency Ninja</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.upworthy.com/abercrombie-just-got-served-ellen-is-like-a-decency-ninja-2?c=bl3"&gt;Abercrombie Just Got Served: Ellen Is Like a Decency Ninja&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://janinehegarty.tumblr.com/post/50880039930/abercrombie-just-got-served-ellen-is-like-a-decency"&gt;janinehegarty&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

Some men who want to compliment random women on the street are creepy predators. Most are somewhere in between, and guess what? I don’t know you, I don’t know your life, and I have no idea if you’re going to leave it at “Hey, you look good in that dress!” or follow it up with “But you’d look better without it! Har har! C’mon, where’re you going? I know you heard me! Fucking cunt, nobody wants your fat ass anyway, bitch.”

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When you compliment a random woman who doesn’t know you, no matter how nice you are about it, there’s a good chance she’s going to freak out internally because for all she knows, you could be that latter type. And I get that it’s really unfair that women would just assume that about you. I get that it sucks that sometimes, expressing totally reasonable opinions like “hey you’re hot” will make women terrified of you or furious at you. That’s not fair.

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But if you’re going to lay the blame for that somewhere, for fuck’s sake, don’t blame the woman. Blame all the guys who have called her a bitch and a cunt for ignoring their advances. Blame all the guys who may have harassed, abused, or assaulted her in the past. Blame all the people who may never do such a thing themselves, but who were quick to blame her and tell her to just get over it. Blame the fact that if she stops and talks to you and then something bad happens, people will blame her for stopping and talking to you.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/brutereason/2013/05/02/why-you-shouldnt-tell-that-random-girl-on-the-street-that-shes-hot/"&gt;Why You Shouldn’t Tell That Random Girl On The Street That She’s Hot » Brute Reason&lt;/a&gt;  (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://albinwonderland.tumblr.com/"&gt;albinwonderland&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://simplythebess.tumblr.com/post/50792285487</link><guid>http://simplythebess.tumblr.com/post/50792285487</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 01:45:36 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Dancing</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://whatshouldwecallme.tumblr.com/post/50753573353/dancing"&gt;whatshouldwecallme&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
