“Are we more fully realized when we minimize the physical part of our nature?”
― Ted Chiang, Liking What You See: A Documentary

“Go not far enough, and find yourself guilty of complacency, complicity, a political slumping into the cushions of your time. Go too far, and find yourself saying that you didn't care that a white child had been eaten by an alligator.”
― Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

“You must come to it alone, and naked, as the child comes into the world, into its future, without any past, without any property, wholly dependent on other people for his life. You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself. You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

“I have eaten
the blank
that were in
the blank

and which
you were probably
saving
for blank

Forgive me
they were blank
so blank
and so blank”
― Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This
