Quote by 假面的盛宴

“Brother, you men will never understand what a woman desires most in life. Fine clothes, delicious food, and honor are all incidental. What a woman wants is actually very simple: to be together for life. It's a pity that you men never understand, and I'm so glad I met him. I'm glad not for anything else, but that no matter how rich or poor our family was, he never had other thoughts. That fool has only had eyes for me from beginning to end, nothing else. -- Lin Qingwan, The Prestigious Family’s Young Lady and the Farmer [名门闺秀与农夫]”

“Modernity, though, is often surprisingly difficult to "locate." Certainly modernity cannot be defined as the surpassing of earlier forms of brutality. Perhaps it can be claimed that modernity should be equated with the possession of superior technology. But this response may itself reflect the modern fetishization of technology, which make it a magical solution for human problems.”

“I noticed a trend with white communists. They do not value autonomy and liberation, they value control and dominance, just like their political counterparts. They do not oppose centralized power, they oppose centralized power that they do not have ownership of. It isn't about the liberation of marginalized classes, it's about placing power within the white "working class" and those in proximity to them.”
