“The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people, with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience that is not their own. I hate that world, don't you? I'm terrified of that worls, and I don't want to live in that world, and as a mixed-race person, I literally don't exist in it.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

“I was simply dying much slower than anticipated. But when you think about it, isn’t that all anyone can really ask for?”

“Knowing how you’re dumb is one of the most valuable kinds of smart there is.”
― Jason Pargin, I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom

“Cats are assholes. I get it. But do you know why people like cats, despite their asshole-ness? It’s because they don’t fucking talk. If they did, and they were all like you, they’d all be extinct because we’d have killed you all by now.”
― Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl
