Quotes by Carolyn Ives Gilman (?)

“I'm perfectly natural the way I am. Why can't you humans ever understand that I might not want to be afflicted with gender?”
― Carolyn Ives Gilman, Halfway Human

“The core principle is that our senses receive a far broader spectrum of messages than the narrow range we are taught to pay attention to. Our brains still receive many of those messages, but they are shunted into the subliminal and subconscious, and surface only as intuitions, emotions, premonitions, dreams, and visions. If we study those experiences not as illusions but as cues to other modes of apprehension, it might give us access to layers of reality we barely suspect, since the evidence for them is drowned out by the noise of ordinary perception.”

“To die this way seems so random, so trivial. I have been robbed of meaning before being robbed of life. To die in darkness, alone -- for what purpose was I ever alive. It is as if I emerged from darkness into delusion, then sank back into darkness forever.”
― Carolyn Ives Gilman, Dark Orbit
