“The idea of not having a gender wasn't frightening to Sasha, but it wasn't a relief either. Maybe this is just a phase, Sasha thought. Maybe I'm just overthinking things.
But maybe not. Maybe the question was its own kind of answer. Maybe the place in between was a real place.”
Dashka Slater, The 57 Bus

“Two young women stood back-to-back performing a slam poem called "Hir," rotating to face the mic as they gave voice to a girl named Melissa and the boy inside her named James.

'Sometimes she wishes she could rip the skin off her back,
Every moment of every day she feels trapped in the flesh of a stranger.”
Dashka Slater, The 57 Bus

Marjan Kamali
“True, in the very early hours and days of prison what fuels me is anger. But after ... I am made of grief. I now scratch the surface of my anger and peer beneath the skin of it and find only a well of sadness so deep there seems no way out.”
Marjan Kamali, The Lion Women of Tehran

George Orwell
“... the smaller the area of choice, the smaller the temptation to take thought.”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“Take for example the well-known passage from the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...

It would have been quite impossible to render this into Newspeak while keeping a sense of the original. The nearest one could come to doing so would be to swallow the whole passage up in the single word crimethink.”
George Orwell, 1984
