“Ben, for three thousand years architects designed buildings with columns shaped like female figures. At last Rodin pointed out that this was work too heavy for a girl. He didn't say, "Look, you jerks, if you have to do this, make it a brawny male figure." He showed it. This poor little caryatid has fallen under the load. She's a good girl—look at her face. Serious, unhappy at her failure, not blaming anyone, not even the gods. And still trying to shoulder her load after she has crumpled under it. But she is more than good art denouncing bad art. She is a symbol for every woman who ever shouldered a load too heavy. But not only women. This symbol means every man and woman who ever sweated out fortitude until they crumpled under their loads. It is courage, Ben, and victory.
Victory?
Victory in defeat, Ben—there is none higher. She is still trying to shoulder that stone long after it has crushed her.”
Robert Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

Milan Kundera
“The more the fight for human rights gains in popularity the more it loses any concrete content, becoming a kind of universal stance of everyone towards everything, a kind of energy that turns all human desires into right. The world has become man's right and everything in it has become a right: the desire for love the right to love, the desire for rest the right to rest, the desire for friendship the right for friendship, the desire to exceed the speed limit the right to exceed the speed limit, the desire for happiness the right to happiness, the desires to publish a book the right to publish a book, the desire to shout in the street in the middle of the night the right to shout in the street.”
Milan Kundera, Immortality

Benedict Jacka
“Those who lack purpose are pawns to those that do not”
Benedict Jacka, Fated

“What i fear are affirmative actions of sober and well intentioned men, granting the government power to do something that appears to need doing.”
Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Sally Rooney
“People were always wanting me to show some weakness so they could reassure me. It made them feel worthy.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends
