The Quarantine Tapes 062: Elizabeth Alexander Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

“I ask questions relatively often in poems and I ask them because I don't know the answer.” - Elizabeth Alexander

The Quarantine Tapes 061: Natalie Diaz Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

“One way that I am looking at truth is that it’s a way of being asleep. As soon as something becomes true, there’s a way that I quit making inquiry or that I quit asking questions of it. Truth is also something that is gathered and then it becomes a power. When things become powers, solidified powers, that’s when I really question them.” - Natalie Diaz

The Quarantine Tapes 060: Carolin Emcke Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

“There is an attempt to normalize hatred and to somehow treat it if it were an anthropological given--as if it were a spontaneous outbreak of emotion...I really resist that narrative. It’s not natural and it’s not individual...it’s something that is collectively produced.”

The Quarantine Tapes 059: David Rieff Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

“That memory is a species of morality is one of the more unassailable pieties of our age.” - David Rieff

The Quarantine Tapes 058: Christopher Knight Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

“The way in which one experiences the present has an effect on the way one reads art from the past.” - Christopher Knight

The Quarantine Tapes 057: Jerry Saltz Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

“Art is long, it’s never not been with us for some reason. It’s the most advanced operating system our species has ever developed to examine consciousness, the invisible world, the visible world, each other--whatever--and it won’t go away until everything it’s meant to address has been addressed.” - Jerry Saltz

The Quarantine Tapes 056: Michael Roth Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

“I believe that the heart and soul of colleges and universities is the study of enduring questions from a variety of points of view.” - Michael Roth

The Quarantine Tapes 055: Margaret Atwood Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

“When people are scared and they think things are falling apart, they get more conservative and they’re willing to trade civil liberties for someone taking control.”

The Quarantine Tapes 054: Greg Grandin Jun 09, 2020

Show notes

“What is ultimately at the core of American exceptionalism - a definition of freedom as 'freedom from restraint' rather than a recognition of mutual dependence with other human beings.”

The Quarantine Tapes 053: Meredith Monk Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

“There isn’t really a ‘normal’, because normal was the destruction of the planet and the myth of control. I think that, hopefully, a ‘new normal’ will be a world that affirms kindness, cooperation, and generosity rather than cruelty, selfishness, and violence.”
