"Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place...In yourself right now is all the place you've got."

-From 'Wise Blood,' by Flannery O'Connor, born today in 1925.

A good reason to give yourself to literature…

Something big is happening

STEM is dead. CS jobs are gone.

Bloodbath.

The ONLY choice you have is to dedicate your life to the humanities.

Words. Books. Art. Music.

The only lifeline we have left.
