Quotes by Lauren Berlant (?)

“And above all, I will argue the necessity for preserving, against all shame, a demanding question of revolution itself, a question about utopia that keeps pushing its way through a field of failed aspirations, like a student at the back of the room who gets suddenly, violently, tired of being invisible.”
― Lauren Berlant

“How long have people thought about the present as having weight, as being a thing disconnected from other things, as an obstacle to living?”
― Lauren Berlant, Cruel Optimism

“...insofar as an American thinks that the sex he or she is having is an intimate, private thing constructed within a space governed by personal consent, she or he is having straight sex, straight sex authorized by national culture; she or he is practicing national heterosexuality...”
