“We can build a world that doesn’t assume fat people are failed thin people, or that thin people are categorically healthy and virtuous.”
― Aubrey Gordon, What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat

“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”

“If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“We need a world that insists upon safety and dignity for all of us—not because we are beautiful, healthy, blameless, exceptional, or beyond reproach, but because we are human beings.”
― Aubrey Gordon, What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat
