(Calculus Inspired) Quote of the Day

"To put it very simplistically, between point A and point B there are an infinite number of steps — half the distance, a quarter, an eighth, and so on. However, we are still able to step from A to B. This idea, arguably at the center of many human ideas about the nature of existence — that the infinite and finite exist not just at the same time, but in the same space — resonated with me. That we could be eternally moving toward a destination we never truly, exactly reached. Life as gesture, then."

-- R. Erica Doyle, while discussing her new book of poetry, Proxy. Lambda Literary has stated that through her collection Doyle has "brought forward a new kind of calculus: the poetic arithmetic of an intensely erotic intersectionality of politics."
