“it becomes obvious that people with disabilities have experiences, by virtue of their disabilities, which non-disabled people do not have, and which are [or can be] sources of knowledge that is not directly accessible to non-disabled people. Some of this knowledge, for example, how to live with a suffering body, would be of enormous practical help to most people…. Much of it would enrich and expand our culture, and some of it has the potential to change our thinking and our ways of life profoundly.”
― Alison Kafer, Feminist, Queer, Crip

“A bad review is a good review. The worst review they can give you is no review at all, and that’s the one they give almost everybody.”

“I’ve been writing a poem,” she said, “but there are only two lines and I don’t think they rhyme.” And she read out loud— “Two people were swimming in the sea One was alive and the other dead. See.”

“As the day went on the hens, locked in their black shed, became depressed and hungry and one by one they fell from their perches and committed suicide in the dank water below, leaving only the cocks alive. The sorrowful sitting hens, all broody, were in another dark, evil-smelling shed and they died too. They sat on their eggs in a black broody dream until they were covered in water. They squarked a little; but that was all. For a few moments just their red combs were visible above the water, and then they disappeared.”
― Barbara Comyns, Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead
