James Tiptree Jr.
“Certainly my inner world will never be a peaceful place of bloom; it will have some peace, and occasional riots of bloom, but always a little fight going on too. There is no way I can be peacefully happy in this society and in this skin. I am committed to Uneasy Street. I like it; it is my idea that this street leads to the future, and that I am being true to a way of life which is not here yet, but is more real than what is here.”
James Tiptree Jr.

Oscar Wilde
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde
