“Relationships are teleological. They’re all going somewhere and they’re turning us into something, hopefully something better, something new.”

“There are many people who like me, and many people who don’t. For most of my life, I figured that one group was wrong, but I could never be certain which one.

“Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in revolution.”
