Misanthropy doesn't negate misogyny
Years ago we had a neighbor, Steve. I remember my father saying that Steve wasn't racist; he hated everyone.
The weird thing about that is I don't remember any conversation leading up to it that would have made whether or not Steve was racist a topic of discussion. That makes me wonder if either my father or Steve had heard it, thought it was clever, and found a way to work it into conversation.

| I was surprised by the short length of the book, and then by how little there was to it. I believe it was supposed to resonate much more than it did, and I can't help but think some additional scenes and maybe even some answers would have helped, and ...more | |

Under an oppressive government, there are questions that don't get answered and traps that can be hard to avoid without the answers, like when the military comes in and has children write an essay about what their families do at night for a contest. T ...more |

Interesting, in-depth work that examines the family, historical, and cultural settings, as well as the artistic influences, allowing you to see them in the work. Sometimes the page arrangement could have allowed for seeing the art while reading about ...more |

“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.”

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

“Look you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the
stats or the cup or the trophy or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me. What matters to me is the perfect throw, making the perfect catch, the perfect step and block. Perfection. That's what it's about. It's those moments. When you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty the physics you know the wonder of mathematics. The elations of action and reaction and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.”

“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”

“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
