Quotes by Emily Saliers
The most important thing to do for me physiologically is to sleep when I’m tired. I love to sleep and it’s very restorative.
Begin my studies with the paper and this pencil and i’m working through the grammar of my fears.
We’re bombarded with media reports, with social media, with anyone with an opinion.
I’m a little bit antisocial and I recently discovered that I’m introverted. But the love between people makes me alive.
Music makes me alive in a way that nothing quite does. Good art, good film, good books, good dance. Exhibitions, history. Nature makes me feel alive. Georgia in the rain – that makes me feel alive. Compassion makes me feel alive. Hard fought victories for social rights.
I don’t think any human being is truly free. We’re so tethered to our own insecurities and hampered by our fears and our prejudices. I think it’s human nature that we’re never going to be free.
