“What worries me most about the proposals for legalized assisted suicide is their veneer of beneficence—the medical determination that for a given individual, suicide is reasonable or right. It is not about autonomy but about nondisabled people telling us what’s good for us. In the discussion that follows, I argue that choice is illusory in a context of pervasive inequality. Choices are structured by oppression. We shouldn’t offer assistance with suicide until we all have the assistance we need to get out of bed in the morning and live a good life. Common causes of suicidality—dependence, institutional confinement, being a burden—are entirely curable.”
Alice Wong, Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century

Ovid
“Be bold, take courage... and be strong of soul.”
Ovid

Tara June Winch
“See, pain travels through our family tree like a songline.”
Tara June Winch, The Yield

Tadeusz Borowski
“I think that for those who have suffered unjustly, justice alone is not enough. They want the guilty to suffer unjustly too. Only this will they understand as justice.”
Tadeusz Borowski, This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen

Louise Penny
“Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering, There’s a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.”
Louise Penny, A Fatal Grace
