"Woman is the equal of man, woman is a human being who has a right to satisfy fully all of her singular mental and physical needs, the absolute right to dispose of her being as she wishes, to develop it to its fullest potential that is the right and duty of every being.... (Jean Grave, 1897)" — Jul 14, 2026 10:30PM

“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.”

“The reason we read - the reason you're reading this book - is because some other book enchanted you, earlier on, and before that another, and before that another. This is the real literary canon, not some hegemonic pantheon, adapted and debated over time. We each have one, a literary canon, and we make it ourselves, not out of what is respectable or prestigious or prominent or lasting or moral or even well-made.”

“An old man says to his grandson: 'There's a fight going on inside me. It's a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil - angry, greedy, jealous, arrogant, and cowardly. The other is good - peaceful, loving, modest, generous, honest, and trustworthy. These two wolves are also fighting within you and inside every other person, too.' After a moment, the boy asks, 'Which wolf will win?' The old man smiles. 'The one you feed.”

“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.”
