Every decision you make has a consequence.
The feeling of having no choice or no say is a fear of mine, partly because the idea of loosening oneself from the burden and responsibility of choice and consequence is so intoxicating.

Rising inequality is not a law of nature – it’s not even a law of economics. It is a consequence of political and economic arrangements, and those arrangements can be changed.
In those years of the Fifties, in London and New York, I lived, without knowing it, in a time when the profoundest changes were happening: when a radical alteration was getting ready to happen in the way a society saw young girls. And, as a consequence, in the way they saw themselves.

Canadians no longer have any financial room. Half of Canadians are $200 away from insolvency.

Recently, I had a hip resurfaced. It’s different from a hip replacement because it’s done with titanium. I like to think that it’s the consequence of riding horses so strenuously, but I fear it’s much more mundane and was just early-onset arthritis.
