Γιώργος Μαντάς

“By making the term "man" subsume "woman" and arrogate to itself the representation of all humanity, men have built a conceptual error of vast proportion into all of their thought. By taking the half for the whole, they have not only missed the essence of whatever they are describing, but they have disroted it in such a fashion that they cannot see it correctly. As long as men believed the earth to be flat, they could not understand its reality, its function, and its actual relationship to other bodies in the universe. As long as men believe their experiences, their viewpoint, and their ideas represent all of human experience and all of human thought, they are not only unable to define correctly in the abstract, but they are unable to describe reality accurately.”
― Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Patriarchy

“Το ξέρω πως ο καθένας μοναχός πορεύεται στον έρωτα, μοναχός στη δόξα και στο θάνατο. Το ξέρω. Το δοκίμασα. Δεν ωφελεί. Άφησε με να ΄ρθω μαζί σου.”
― Γιάννης Ρίτσος, The Moonlight Sonata

“Να χάσεις
Μα να χάσεις αμετάκλητα”
― Guillaume Apollinaire

“I am become a hard, thankless, graceless girl, and it was the only way I could do it.”
