“Einerseits wird von Frauen immer wieder gefordert, sich doch bitte zu nehmen, was sie wollen: Jobs, faire Bezahlung, Männer. Andererseits gibt es aber eben das fast schon archetypische Bild der Feministin, die sich viel zu schnell aufregt, hysterisch wird und alles scheiße findet. Mädchen und Frauen sollen wollen und begehren und beanspruchen - aber sie sollen dabei bitte nicht anstrengend werden: ein unauflösbarer Widerspruch.”
Margarete Stokowski, Untenrum frei

“Wir werden Forderungen stellen, die wir zuvor nie gewagt hätten zu stellen, und wir werden dabei nicht "bitte" sagen, denn man sagt gar nicht "bitte" bei Revolutionen. Man sagt nur "danke" zu denen, die mitgekämpft haben.”
Margarete Stokowski, Untenrum frei

“Es kann sehr verführerisch sein, die Realität zu ignorieren, wenn sie nervt und hässlich ist und uns fertigmacht, aber auf Dauer geht das nicht gut aus.”
Margarete Stokowski, Untenrum frei

David Foster Wallace
“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”
David Foster Wallace

J. Michael Straczynski
“There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.”
J. Michael Straczynski, Babylon 5: The Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 2
