"Estou com nojo deste autor porque fala da escravatura como se só hoje fosse uma coisa má, mas além disso é pretensioso com a linguagem. Isto é história de Portugal altamente condensada, não precisava de estilização ridícula só porque certos homens de uma certa geração precisam de exercer toda a ginástica de palavras que conseguirem para se sentirem inteligentes e superiores. Will I ever be able to finish this book?" Mar 16, 2024 05:00AM

Richard C. Lewontin
“The contrast between genetic and environmental, between nature and nurture, is not a contrast between fixed and changeable. It is a fallacy of biological determinism to say that if differences are in the genes, no change can occur.”
Richard C. Lewontin, Biology as Ideology: The Doctrine of DNA

L. B. Diamond
“Antigay activists have historically maintained that same-sex sexuality is a lifestyle choice that should be discouraged, deemed illegitimate, and even punished by the culture at large. In other words, if lesbian/gay/bisexual people to not have to be gay but are simply choosing a path of decadence and deviance, then the government should have no obligation to protect their civil rights or honor their relationships; to the contrary, the state should actively condemn same-sex sexuality and deny it legal and social recognition in order to discourage others from following that path.
Not surprisingly, advocates for gay/lesbian/bisexual rights see things differently. They counter that sexual orientation is not a matter of choice but an inborn trait that is much beyond an individual's control as skin or eye color. Accordingly, since gay/lesbian/bisexual individuals cannot choose to be heterosexual, it is unethical to discriminate against them and to deny legal recognition to same-sex relationships.
(...)
Perhaps instead of arguing that gay/lesbian/bisexual individuals deserve civil rights because they are powerless to change their behavior, we should affirm the fundamental rights of all people to determine their own emotional and sexual lives.”
Lisa Diamond, Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire

“This will sound peculiar, I know. But this love I have for dragons, my compulsion to understand them ... I have thought of it before as though there were a dragon within me. A part of my spirit. I do not believe it is true in any mystical sense, of course; I am as human as you are. But in the metaphorical sense, yes. 'Dragon-spirited' is a good a term for me as any."

He listened to this in silence, his expression settled into the grave lines it assumed when he was deep in thought. "Do you believe you are neither male nor female?"

I almost gave a malapert answer, but caught myself in time. We had an established habit of intellectual debate, and I valued it; I would not discard it now.

"So long as my society refuses to admit of a concept of femininity that allows for such things," I said, "then one could indeed say that I stand in between.”
Marie Brennan, The Voyage of the Basilisk

L. B. Diamond
“For those of us who question, your whole life becomes a question. Do you then reach some level of understanding, and then it's static? I don't think so" (age twenty-two, unlabeled)”
Lisa Diamond, Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire

“A repressão perfeita é a que não é sentida por quem a sofre, a que é assumida, ao longo duma sábia educação, por tal forma que os mecanismos da repressão passam a estar no próprio indivíduo, e que este retira daí as suas próprias satisfações. E se acaso a mulher percebe a sua servidão, e a rejeita, como, a quem, identificar-se? Onde reaprender a ser, onde reinventar o modelo, o papel, a imagem, o gesto e a palavra quotidianos, a aceitação e o amor dos outros, e os sinais de aceitação e amor? Bem sei, antepassada Maria Ana, de que te queixavas, do que eras incapaz: de inventares sozinha a mãe, a heroína, a ideologia, o mito, a matriz, que te pusesse espessura e significado perante os outros, que até aos outros abrisse caminho, se não de comunicação, pelo menos de inquietação.”
As Três Marias
