“Everything you see is in the past, as far as you’re concerned. If you look up at the Moon, you’re seeing a little over a second ago. The Sun is more than eight minutes in the past. And the stars you see in the night sky are deep in the past, from just a few years to millennia.”

“Masculinity has been reshaped at different times, usually to suit the needs of the economy. That it is being debated and contested now is a consequence of the fact that society changes with increasing rapidity, and in many ways the dominant version of masculinity - and of gender in general - has fallen behind. As long as people are categorized using a crude and essentially binary system which sorts on the basis of sex and sexuality, the sense of self as unknowable and unstable will continue to impede the formation and performance of identity.”
― Kimberley Reynolds
