Time itself is our tragedy and most of us are fighting some kind of war against it.

Rebecca Solnit
Time, War, Fighting
Rebecca Solnit (2013). “The Faraway Nearby”, p.53, Granta Books

Musing takes place in a kind of meadowlands of the imagination, a part of the imagination that has not yet been plowed, developed, or put to any immediately practical use…time spent there is not work time, yet without that time the mind becomes sterile, dull, domesticated. The fight for free space — for wilderness and public space — must be accompanied by a fight for free time to spend wandering in that space.

Rebecca Solnit
Fighting, Space, Imagination

The fight for free space-for wilderness and for public space-must be accompanied by a fight for free time to spend wandering in that space. Otherwise the individual imagination will be bulldozed over for the chain-store outlets of consumer appetite, true-crime titillations, and celebrity crises.
