Quote by C.S.R. Calloway

“Adults have their swords and make their wars. Kids are supposed to...play. We’re not supposed to have cares.” She looked at him, though her eyes were still looking into some distance. “I’m afraid I might be growing up. Why else do I feel like I don’t want to be an adult, but I’m no longer a child?”

Work

Lost

Books titled Lost often engage readers with narratives centered around characters who are searching for something whether it be a place, a person, an identity, or a sense of purpose. The title evokes feelings of disconnection, confusion, or being without direction. Such works may examine the human condition through stories of individuals navigating unfamiliar circumstances or grappling with loss. The concept of being lost can serve as both a literal and metaphorical framework for exploring personal growth, transformation, and the journey toward understanding or redemption. more

“Having a child has become a prodigiously artificial thing. It no longer has anything of the passionately accidental event about it; it has become the parthenogenetic fruit of a calculation of biological, dietary and psychosocial data and you wonder to what extent dream, desire or fatality are still involved. But perhaps the race is losing its interest in sexuality, preferring instead a sort of protozoan transplantation. Leaving out of account that what has been conceived by artificial insemination is very likely to continue its life in artificial intelligence and to die of built-in obsolescence. After the mechanical bride, the mechanical widow. Now every human being is the product of a sexual act, a sexual pact or else we should not be the human race. It takes a sexual copulation successfully to produce a human being, just as, among the Hindus, it takes a copulation between the word and silence for a sacrifice to be successfully carried out. In a sense the child is indeed the continuation of the species. But in another, he or she is a biological vestige of it. The further we go with change, genetic innovations and fashion, the more unreal it becomes, with each new generation, to put our trust in the processes of childbirth and organic growth. The simplicity and slowness of those things are entirely outside the range of our contemporary experience. How can we claim to exercise judgement if we have lost a sense of punishment? How can we claim to judge anything at all if we no longer accept being judged? And if we are no longer able either to judge or be judged, then we lose all hope of being absolved or condemned in the past or the future. Now, what can no longer be reflected in the past or the future takes place in a single instant with all its consequences. The Last Judgement becomes an immediate reality. We have right here before us the unchecked proliferation in epidemic proportions of all processes, the multiplication of all cancers on an epidemic scale.”
