“But I’m not a moth. I’m human. And in humans, there are far more stages than just two. I could not have predicted each version of me that I shifted into, but through my history, one constant has always remained true: change itself. I might not be able to return to the other Ariadnes, but I would not always be the Ariadne floating in front of the mirror, either.”
― Becky Chambers, To Be Taught, If Fortunate

“Die Herausforderung, der sich eine politisch noch lange nicht realisierte plurale Perspektive auf Gesellschaft stellen müsste, wäre, die Komplexität des Hasses denken zu lernen. Einschließen würde das die Einsicht, dass die Gesellschaft aus sich überschneidenden Opfer- und Täter*innenpositionen besteht. Und dass das eine nie die Aufhebung des anderen bedeuten darf. Gruppen sind eben meist beides zugleich Diskriminierende und Diskriminierte, abhängig von der Perspektive, die man wählt: Sexismus, Islamophobie, Klassismus, Antisemitismus, unsoweiterunsofort ... Auf eine Frage der Opposition wie jene zur Zunahme von Islamfeindlichkeit müsste ein Spitzenpolitiker entsprechend antworten: Es gibt eine zunehmende Islamfeindlichkeit unter nichtmuslimischen Deutschen. Und es gibt Antisemitismus unter Muslim*innen. Gegen beides müssen wir etwas tun.”
― Max Czollek, Gegenwartsbewältigung

“Nicht müde werden, sondern dem Wunder, leise, wie ein Vogel, die Hand hinhalten.”
― Hilde Domin

“The airlock opened before me, edgeless vacuity beyond. There were no winds here, no crashing waves. Only the cold constancy of stars, to which I was just a crude bit of wet carbon, a flake of skin you brush aside. My pain and pettiness and mistakes and inadequacies did not matter. I did not matter. Nothing we did out here mattered. Nothing we could or would ever do would matter, in the face of this.”
― Becky Chambers, To Be Taught, If Fortunate

Michael S. Kimmel
“To be white, or straight, or male, or middle class is to be simultaneously ubiquitious and invisible. You’re everywhere you look, you’re the standard against which everyone else is measured. You’re like water, like air. People will tell you they went to see a “woman doctor” or they will say they went to see “the doctor.” People will tell you they have a “gay colleague” or they’ll tell you about a colleague. A white person will be happy to tell you about a “Black friend,” but when that same person simply mentions a “friend,” everyone will assume the person is white. Any college course that doesn’t have the word “woman” or “gay” or “minority” in its title is a course about men, heterosexuals, and white people. But we call those courses “literature,” “history” or “political science.”

This invisibility is political.”
― Michael S. Kimmel, Privilege: A Reader
