James Tiptree Jr.
“If I could describe a 'human being' I would be more than I am - and probably living in the future, because I think of human beings as something to do with the luminous image you see in a bright child's eyes - the exploring, wondering, eagerly grasping, undestructive quest for life. I see that undescribed spirit as central to us all.”
James Tiptree Jr.

“It is ridiculous to take money seriously, since it comes by chance, enslaves anyone who wants to hold on to it, and is lost by decent behavior.”
Bion of Borysthenes

Elizabeth Hardwick
“Time: this is what the novel asks of the writer and the reader. And time is just what our contemporary existence is determined to shorten.”
Elizabeth Hardwick, The Collected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick

W. Somerset Maugham
“Though he had both esteem and admiration for the sensibility of the human race, he had little respect for their intelligence: man has always found it easier to sacrifice his life than to learn the multiplication table.”
W. Somerset Maugham;

Susan Stryker
“Hearken unto me, fellow creatures. I who have dwelt in a form unmatched with my desire. I whose flesh has become an assemblage of incongruous anatomical parts. I who achieve the similitude of a natural body only through an unnatrual process, I offer you this warning: the Nature you bedevil me with is a lie. Do not trust it to protect you from what I represent, for it is a fabrication that cloaks the groundlessness of the privilege you seek to maintain for yourself at my expense. You are as constructed as me; the same anarchic Womb has birthed us both. I call upon you to investigate your nature as I have been compelled to confront mine. I challenge you to risk abjection and flourish as well as have I. Heed my words, and you may well discover the seams and sutures in yourself.”
Susan Stryker, My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage
