Asia’s Quotes

“When no decision can be made, we go along with the decisions of those we trust, and if there is no one to trust, we follow the ones we love.”
― Grégoire Courtois, The Laws of the Skies

“We are all children, they thought, and none of us is equipped to deal with such an adversary.
We go through life under other people's protection.
We listen to instructions and try to follow them.
We don't know what's true and what's not. What's fair and unfair.
Our world is small. Our world is narrow.
We do as we are told.”
― Grégoire Courtois, The Laws of the Skies

tags: authority, childhood, conformity, dependence, guidance, innocence, manipulation, obedience, uncertainty, vulnerability

“Don’t you ever want to start over? To go back to being the child our children are today and make choices other than the ones we made? Good or bad, just other choices.”
― Grégoire Courtois, The Laws of the Skies

“Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots because it's okay to be a boy; for girls it's like promotion. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, according to you, because secretly you believe that being a girl is degrading.”
― Ian McEwan, The Cement Garden
