Quotes by Elizabeth A. Povinelli (?)

“But inheritance doesn't come from the past. Inheritance is the place we are given in the present in a world structured to care for the existence of some and not of others.”
― Elizabeth A. Povinelli, The Inheritance

“In turning away from each other, entities withdraw care for each other. Thus the earth is not dying. But the earth may be turning away from certain forms of existence. In this way of thinking the Desert is not that in which life does not exist, A Desert is where a series of entities have withdrawn care for the kinds of entities humans are and this has made humans into another form of existence: bone, mummy, ash, soil.”
― Elizabeth Povinelli

“Desert does not refer in any literal way to the ecosystem that, for lack of water, is hostile to life. The Desert is the affect that motivates the search for other instances of life in the universe and technologies for seeding planets with life;”
― Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Geontologies: A Requiem to Late Liberalism
