“In all this explication you will notice that I am not thoroughly intropunitive. I do think that a substantial part of my half-nervous-breakdown has stemmed from an unfortunate set of circumstances beyond my control. Though you will find it a futile exercise, I will be intropunitive to this extent: When I got the screaming meemies I should have screamed audibly and stamped my foot and insisted that something must be done. You know, or don’t know that one must keep the dignity of responsibility for one’s own acts. At least, that’s the only dignity I have been able to achieve in this world and I am extremely reluctant to let go of it.”

Connie Converse, excerpt from Blue Funk, 1971
