“It's not always easy to convince someone a need exists, if they don't have that need themselves.”
Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Torrey Peters
“She knew that no matter how you self-identify ultimately, chances are that you succumb to becoming what the world treats you as.”
Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

Ted Chiang
“People are made of stories. Our memories are not the impartial accumulation of every second we’ve lived; they’re the narrative that we assembled out of selected moments. Which is why, even when we’ve experienced the same events as other individuals, we never constructed identical narratives: the criteria used for selecting moments were different for each of us, and a reflection of our personalities. Each of us noticed the details that caught our attention and remembered what was important to us, and the narratives we built shaped our personalities in turn. But, I wondered, if everyone remembered everything, would our differences get shaved away? What would happen to our sense of self? It seemed to me that a perfect memory couldn’t be a narrative any more than unedited security-cam footage could be a feature film. ·”
Ted Chiang, The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling

Ocean Vuong
“Too much joy, I swear, is lost in our desperation to keep it.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“Is that what art is? To be touched thinking what we feel is ours when, in the end, it was someone else, in longing, who finds us?”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
