"‘Very few Adjumiris remain one gender for their entire lives, passing through different states of being as they change, grow, age. Off-worlders are taught the basic “they”, which is the pronoun given to children who have not yet passed through the gate, and the polite “ae” used for the non-gender, the gender-that-is-without-significance...’

"“With one hand, he grabbed the blackboard’s edge and hung his head in defeat. His pose revealed a strong shoulder and shapely biceps under the tweed. I reminded myself he was a frog.”
So what's the issue here?" — 11 hours, 29 min ago

"“But I’ve thought of people as attractive. Lots of people. Pedro Pascal. Renée Rapp. Simone Ashley.
Oh god, they’re all celebrities. Another thing that one website said could be a sign.”

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
