Quote of the Day | 1202

Without analysis and criticism, we can’t get to grips with what may or may not be wrong around us – without a muscular capacity to imagine, we can’t construct better alternatives – without support, we can find it difficult to believe what we have to say should even be heard, that who we are should be expressed: whether that might involve a sonnet that proves you’re as human as everyone else and therefore entitled to consideration, or a love letter, or a job application that changes your life, or the novel that sustains someone recently bereaved, or the joke or the song that made someone smile after a shitty day, or the slogan that will tell a nearby policeman – Your jobs are next.

A.L. Kennedy, ‘Cold Comfort’
