Rachel Kushner Quotes

Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

One thing helps the other. My stand-up helps my writing; my writing helps my stand-up; my stand-up helps my acting. They're all interlocked.

Each part in itself constitutes the whole to which it belongs.

I believe that, in any novel of mine, the principal objective is the construction of the whole.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.

Society, like nature, is one body, really.

We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something.

Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

No idea is isolated, but is only what it is among all ideas.

No one person is an island.

We are each other's magnitude and bond.

The success of each is dependent upon the success of the other.

Things explain each other, not themselves.

Nothing can be by itself alone, no one can be by himself or herself alone, everyone has to inter-be with every one else. That is why, when you look outside, around you, you can see yourself.
