  1. She hates that word, institution. She’s scared of them, scared that one day she’ll be in one. That’s where her mother went. She disappeared into the cement walls, she doesn’t want to end up like her mother.

    Emily Ramser
  2. The institutions are the people who last. The people who don’t quit. The Rolling Stones is an institution. They will keep playing music until they die-besides, what else would you expect from them? They’re well paid and respected, like any institution.

  3. The institutions were set up for those who were mentally unstable. The institutions were supposed to help them regain their mind and train them to act like “normal” people. The institutions were wrong. I was not mentally unstable, not terribly abnormal. I was creative, and that was seen as a sin.

  4. I don’t want to go. And no one can make make me. Progress is for failures. I want to be a free bird, one that no one can cage. I want to be free. Free me. NO. STOP. I just…I don’t want this. It’s not for me.

  5. “Welcome to the Dorian Institute for Talented Women! I am your tour guide. Prospective students are welcome to visit any classroom or atheletic field or court. All professors and coaches are in their designated places; if you need information in an area, feel free to ask one of them.” The creepy tour guide woman said. Why am I even here, I thought to myself. I have never liked all girl schools. Maybe I should find another institute for talent. I play the piano, but I’d rather be playing it for a bunch of gorgeous guys, not preppy girls…

  6. institutions… many of us was born alone in this world not knowing if we could belong somewhere thats why people built institutions to feel a sense of belongingness.

  12. Institutions.
    I believe we need institutions,
    Institutions of learning, of governing.
    Institutions mean education,
    Instituions mean knowledge.

  13. The institutions of higher learning are churning out professionals on an annual basis, filling the workforce with qualified individuals for the varied tasks of running an industrialized civilization. Where will the innovators and free thinkers come from? How do the outside of the box thinkers break through, she wondered? Can the cream continue to rise to the top in a society that favors conformity?

  14. Many institutions exist. Some to hold you in, others to keep you out. Some in your mind, some in the minds of others, some just outside of the mind. They keep us in or keep us out. Where do we go? How do we escape? Do we want to escape? A prison is an institution, but must an institution be a prison? What way out is there for us? I do not know. Please help us. We need help.

  15. i dont know. keeping souls withheld at the gates of who knows what. how they escape is a mystery to us but sometimes we get the benefit of doubt in not knowing. knowing is a crazy thing..this a keepers palace.

Without the movement internally and a good external message, no one supports it externally. Message is everything.

  39. Keep on saying the marriage plot isn’t funny and it won’t be any more funny or industrious or silly or doable than it already finds itself when you wag your funky tail at it. You know that there isn’t time enough in the day to express, to get across what the power of two plus two can equal. What two to the ancient power of aggrandizement makes available, what two can bend or blend into, a hoard of roaming unbelievables.

    Chesa Peake
  40. Las instituciones caerán tarde o temprano, y nosotros las seguiremos. Cuando eso ocurra nuestra verdadera naturaleza saldrá a la luz y nos encontraremos cara a cara con nuestro destino. Sea cual sea, el resultado será el mismo. Destrucción, caos, renacimiento.
