    C.A. Knutsen
    “He wasn’t being arrogant. It wasn’t self-confidence that a human would have because they had been successful in the past. GERI was simply certain he would be successful because he was what he was—a superlative intellect, perhaps the only one of his caliber.”
    C.A. Knutsen, Tom and G.E.R.I.

    Diane L. Kowalyshyn
    “A selfish man would never visit a comatose woman every day for two months. He wouldn’t have done what was best for everyone involved, or given an employee a proper burial. These are the acts of a loving man––a man who cared too much.”

    J.K. Franko
    “The summer of 2019 had overstayed its welcome in Florida,
    lingering well into September. As if to make a point about global
    warming, the rabid sun scorched the waters of Biscayne Bay for
    weeks, generating a haze of humidity that blurred the line between
    the windless sea and the sky above. Not to be accused of playing
    favorites, the sun’s rays beat down on the land with equal spite,
    pummeling grass, palms, and bushes into limp submission. The
    heat weaponized asphalt roads and cement sidewalks, the shimmery
    mirages above them a clear warning to all living things to stay away
    or burn.”
    J.K. Franko, Eye for Eye

    Simone de Beauvoir
    “Misogynists have often reproached intellectual women for 'letting themselves go'; but they also preach to them: if you want to be our equals, stop wearing makeup and polishing your nails. This advice is absurd. Precisely because the idea of femininity is artificially defined by customs and fashion, it is imposed on every woman from the outside[...]. The individual is not free to shape the idea of femininity at will.”
    Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
