“But then she thought about the falcon, how it was made to do what it did and had no choice in the matter. It was eat pigeon (or sparrow or rat or raccoon) or die, and Kid supposed that the beauty of the falcon was directly related to its ability to kill, a completely different kind of beauty than the beauty of the pigeon, and that humans' ability to recognize the two beauties and not to call one beautiful and the other ugly said a lot about humans in ways you could probably spend years contemplating.”
Anne Fleming, The Goat

“I confess I didn’t totally get it. We understand the world by extension of ourselves. It’s hard to get why people feel differently. It’s hard to believe they even do.”
Anne Fleming, Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme

“.. how funny it was that people lived all over the world and you never thought of them until you went someplace new.”
Anne Fleming
