“„Menschen so zu bezeichnen, wie sie bezeichnet werden wollen, ist keine Frage von Höflichkeit, auch kein Symbol politischer Korrektheit oder einer progressiven Haltung – es ist einfach eine Frage des menschlichen Anstands.”

“Es ist der Absolutheitsglaube, der aus Kategorien Käfige macht. Also die vermessene Vorstellung, die eigene begrenzte, limitierte Perspektive auf diese Welt sei komplett, vollständig, universal. Der Hochmut, zu glauben, einen anderen Menschen in seiner ganzen Komplexität abschließend verstehen zu können. Oder gar eine ganze konstruierte Kategorie von Menschen abschließend verstanden zu haben.”

“...I realized that the words most often used to define us were words that described our function in relation to others. Even the most benign words- maiden, wife, mother - told the world whether we were virgins or not. What was the male equivalent of maiden? I could not think of it. What was the male equivalent of Mrs., of whore, of common scold?... Which words would define me? Which would be used to judge or contain?”

“Not that I'm afraid of becoming an animal. That wouldn't be too bad, but a human being can never become just an animal; he plunges beyond, into the abyss. I don't want this to happen to me. Recently that's what has made me most afraid, and it is out of that fear I am writing my report. Once I've reached the end I shall hide it well and forget about it. I don't want the strange thing that I might turn into to find it one day.”
