“I suppose it should bother me to be so hated but, without it, I wouldn’t have the delight of torturing them with my presence. What can I say? My cheerful spirit can’t help but spot silver linings.”

“Get him! My hormones scream. Don’t fall for it, my brain cautions. Pretty! They whine. Stupid hormones. Calm down, hormones. We are just pumping him – (really brain, you chose the word pumping?) – for information. He is literally evil. We need to keep our distance.”

“You said you’d cooperate.” I knew I’d regret my promise, just not quite this soon. “You don’t wear pink!” “Yeah, well, no one thinks I’m in league with the devil.” She shoves it into my chest. I narrow my eyes. “I do.”

“My hands twitch and wiggle. Jo sees them, shakes her head and mouths, “Sit on your hands.” She can’t be serious. As if my butt would stop my hands even if it could. Does she not realize it’s in league with the rest of me?”

“I hear Jo in my head trying to douse the fire in my heart. “Be good, Meda.” Good, good, good, good, good. The word plays in a loop until it means nothing. I’ve been good and they refuse to feed me. I’ve been good and they won’t train me. I’ve been good and they changed the locks. I’ve been good and they want to send me away.”

“If you have to wear a hazmat suit to raise crops, why would you ever eat them? If you’re afraid of getting that crap on your skin, how much more insane would it be to put it in your mouth! Seriously? I often wonder, and I wish someone would research it if they haven’t already, whether the CEOs of Monsanto, Dupont, etc., eat GMO products and feed them to their families, or if they send out their ‘personal shoppers’ to the local farmer’s market to bring home fresh, organic produce every week? I suspect the latter. I’m quite sure they all have reverse osmosis water systems in their mansions. Let me put it bluntly, if I haven’t been clear so far. The day the CEO of Monsanto guzzles a gallon of Roundup, is the day I’ll consider buying their products, maybe.”

“Firma Monsanto została założona w 1901 roku, w Saint Louis w stanie Missouri, i produkowała sacharynę sprzedawaną Coca-Coli. Przez pół wieku wytwarzała preparaty owadobójcze, plastik, rozmaite środki chemiczne, sławę zyskała jednak w latach sześćdziesiątych, kiedy to wojna w Wietnamie spopularyzowała produkt zwany Agent Orange, czynnik pomarańczowy - silny środek powodujący opadanie liści. Amerykanie stosowali go w lasach i na polach uprawnych, chcąc doprowadzić swoich wrogów na skraj głodu. Samoloty bojowe rozpylały wówczas nad krajem chmury trucizny: pół miliona Wietnamczyków zmarło, pół miliona dzieci urodziło się zdeformowanych - a tymczasem firma rozwijała się i bogaciła. W latach siedemdziesiątych wynaleziono bardzo silny środek chwastobójczy oparty na glifosacie, nazwany Roundup, po latach wyprodukowano nasiona soi, kukurydzy i pszenicy odporne na spore nawet ilości tego herbicydu - nazwane Roundup Ready - i bardzo wydajne. Nasiona te rozprowadzone zostały wśród wielkich producentów w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kanadzie, w Ameryce Łacińskiej. Obecnie firma kontroluje 90 procent światowego rynku nasion transgenicznych.”

“In literature it is only the wild that attracts us. Dullness is only another name for tameness. It is the untamed, uncivilized, free, and wild thinking in Hamlet, in the Iliad, and in all the scriptures and mythologies that delights us, — not learned in the schools, not refined and polished by art. A truly good book is something as wildly natural and primitive, mysterious and marvellous, ambrosial and fertile, as a fungus or a lichen.”

“She stood watching a ritual she had seen many times before, yet which now seemed odd and extremely archaic; as if everything - the hill, the ox, the Mage, the cauldron, the king, the people looking on - everything belonged to a time so far away, so obscurely ancient that it could no longer be comprehended, only felt in the pulse of blood that flowed through her veins.”
