Quote of the Day

"An image presented itself to me while I was washing the bay windows...The door jammed while I was washing the inside panes, and I was imprisoned between the two windows. In order to get out without shattering the door, I had to ease it back very carefully. It struck me that relationships operate the same way. They also shatter easily and have to be approached carefully. While I was trapped between the windows, it was almost impossible to communicate through the glass. Being autistic is like being trapped like this."
- Temple Grandin, Thinking in Pictures

Quote of the Day

"Perhaps most significantly, we experienced Sept. 11 right as we were developing a political consciousness. I was a senior in college, poised to enter the real world with a sort of indestructible bravado on Sept. 10. On Sept. 11, everything I’d understood about my own safety, about the implications of America’s reputation throughout the world, about violence and poverty and extremism, was transformed."
