“By imposing rigid categories upon individuals, we deny the complexity of human subjectivity. We must dismantle the structures that confine us, liberating ourselves from the chains of binary thinking. Only then can we truly embrace the multitude of identities that exist within us.”

“There are many ways to measure a year, but the reader is likely to measure it in books. There was the novel that felt as fresh and full of promise as the new year in January, the memoir read on the bus to and from work through the grey days of March, the creased paperback fished from a pocket in the park in May, the stacks of books thumbed through and sandy-paged, passed around at the beach in August, the old favorite read by light coming in the window in October, and the many books in between. And when we each look back at our own years in reading, we are almost sure to find that ours was exactly like no other reader’s.”
― C. Max Magee

“The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart.”
