1. "One left with uncertain maps where all was possible. Deserts and shelters. / Ambushes and steppes. Altitudes and thirst. Vertigo and the plains. / Zones without guards or shackles, the right of way given to pilgrims, to / travelers, to the rebellious, // terrains so hazy that they almost touched dreams and the sky. / In the margin were projected all the ardent impulses of the heart" -Andre Veltier, "Frontiers"

2. "I took it as my unmistakable cue to leave, experiencing on my way out into the rain that distracting, unsettling jolt a person feels when there isn't, after all, another step at the bottom." -Denise Shekerjian, writing about Joseph Brodsky, Uncommon Genius: How Great Ideas Are Born

4. "Capitalism does not consolidate itself solely by consolidating its hold on the land, or solely by incorporating history's precapitalist formations. It also makes use of all the available abstractions, all available forms, and even the juridical and legal fiction of ownership of things apparently inaccessible to privative appropriation (private property): nature, the earth, life energies, desires and needs." -Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space, Blackwell Publishing edition, 1991, Pg. 350

5. "I was walkin’ down a road
I was movin’ down a road
Walkin’ down a road, movin’ down a road
And saw you comin’ by
I was walkin’ down a road
I was movin’ down a road
Walkin’ down a road, movin’ down a road
And saw you comin’ by
Walkin’ down a road, movin’ down a road
And saw you comin’ by
I was walkin’ down a road
Movin’ down a road
You were comin’ down a road
I saw you comin’ down a road
I turned around you turned around
And now we’re walkin’ down a road
Now we’re movin’ down a road
I see you movin’ down a road
I see you walkin’ down a road
You see me walkin’ down a road
You see me movin’ down a road"
