Slavoj Žižek
“Philosophy often appears to its common-sense opponents as a kind of Sigmaringen of ideas, churning out its irrelevant fictions and pretending that it offers the public insights on which the fate of humanity depends, while real life goes on somewhere else, indifferent to philosophical gigantomachias. Is philosophy really a mere theatre of shadows? A pseudo-event impotently mimicking real events? What if its power resides in its very withdrawal from direct engagement? What if, in its Sigmaringen-distance from the immediate reality of events, it can see a much more profound dimension of these same events, so that the only way to orient ourselves in the multiplicity of events is through the lens of philosophy?”
Slavoj Žižek, Event

R.J.  Barker
“Can you add a quote from yourself? That would be pointless, what sort of fool would do that?”
R.J. Barker

Arkady Martine
“Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe; it gives life back to those who no longer exist.”
Arkady Martine, A Memory Called Empire

Lois McMaster Bujold
“We lords, at our oars, then? We sweating, pissing, swearing, grunting gentlemen? I think not, Palli. On the galleys we were not lords or men. We were men or animals, and which proved which had no relation I ever saw to birth or blood. The greatest soul I ever met there had been a tanner, and I would kiss his feet right now with joy to learn he yet lived. We slaves, we lords, we fools, we men and women, we mortals, we toys of the gods—all the same thing, Palli. They are all the same to me now.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, The Curse of Chalion

“Let me pull back the curtain to reveal the wizard and the machinery. As someone who writes experimental fiction, hybrid memoir, and poetry, and who translates contemporary German-language literature, I hope this book shows you can be a writer and have a laugh, be a laugh. And have friends. Have your cake and eat it, too. It's like the backlash against method acting--you're not your character, why not just act.”
Jen Calleja, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode
