“Am I a nihilistic postmodernist or a New Ager in academig drag?”
― Timothy Morton, Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World

“It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.”
― Donna J. Haraway, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene

“To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings—all in the same relationship.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

“In other words, it is not in craving after ready-made, complete and finished things that love finds its meaning ― but in the urge to participate in the becoming of such things. Love is akin to transcendence; it is but another name for creative drive and as such is fraught with risks, as all creation is never sure where it is going to end.”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds
