Jamie Le Fay
“Your gaze is very powerful, but trust me, it won't open that door”
Jamie Le Fay, Disillusion
tags: magic

Jamie Le Fay
“The body—objectified, sexualised, feared, hunted, worshiped—always the body, they adored him or hated him before they ever knew him. The body crushed him; he was its slave. He felt empty, reduced to a soulless thing.”
Jamie Le Fay, Disillusion

“People aren't rational. We're not thinking machines, we're - we're feeling machines that happen to think.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

Jamie Le Fay
“Manhood is, today, an uncertain, frail status that is easily threatened. Insecure men attempt to affirm their manliness physically and symbolically. Zanus's appeal speaks to the insecurities of men raised with traditional values; men trapped in a world that is pulling the rug under their feet and challenging everything they believe in.”
Jamie Le Fay, Gravitational Pull

Jamie Le Fay
“You are the most powerful army in the world; you are the future of this planet. You cannot, you will not spend one more minute of your time looking in a mirror wishing you looked different.”
Jamie Le Fay, Disillusion
