Quote by Radclyffe Hall

“Nature was trying to do her bit; inverts were being born in increasing numbers, and after a while their numbers would tell, even with the fools who still ignored Nature. They must just bide their time—recognition was coming.”

“She said Frog eximplified transformation. He entered life in one form and left it in another. From egg to tadpole, to tadpole with legs, to amphibian with tail, to tailless frog, he was never the same. He began life in water, only emerging once he was his true self. He symbolized change, rebirth, and renewal, and his spirit could bring rain. Anna stared down at the ill-fated frog. The reservation was transforming…. And yet the very symbol of change had become a victim of it. The absurdity didn’t escape her.”

“The adage ‘That's the way we've always done it’, often seen as a mark of experience, can also be innovation's death knell. The sentiment highlights the danger of clinging to established practices and ignoring the potential of collaborative efforts to drive progress and change.”

“By merging our collective insights and expertise, we design solutions that transcend the capabilities of any one individual. Think of it as a mental potluck where everyone brings their best dish to the table, resulting in a feast fit for the gods of innovation and change.”

“Što se slika tiče, njihov tok bi trebalo da je nalikovao puštanju filma, u koturu, na nekom od prvih projektora, s tim što je film sečen tako da su se između kadrova smeštale boje. Projektor sam bio ja, u srži vrtloga, a kroz moje oči je projektovan film na mračnoj pozadini koja se mreškala, kovitlala i stremila visinama. Na tom tajanstvenom filmu nisam prepoznao nikog koga poznajem. Glavni, a ujedno i jedini glumac, bio sam ja. Posmatrao sam sebe iz tuđe perspektive – te sam sebi izgledao kao tuđin, kao neko koga ne poznajem i po čijoj se prošlosti slobodno može čeprkati. Čije su konkretno te tačke gledišta – katkad sam mogao da pogodim, katkad da pretpostavim, ali najčešće nisam imao pojma. U potonjim prilikama, sebe sam mogao da prepoznam manje. Delovao sam starije, stajao na nepoznatim mi mestima, sa ljudima koje još nisam sreo, a čija su mi se lica činila čudnim. Kao da je i njih i mene nešto naročito izmenilo – da li nabolje ili nagore, tada mi to nije bilo bitno, jer sam se usredsredio na naše poglede, jer u njima sam pronašao simptome korenite promene koju samo spoznaja nečeg posebnog može da podstakne. Najbolje se sećam pogledâ. Pogledâ i prizorâ, ponekog detalja, ali prizori su ti koji mi ni sad ne daju mira.”

“Pored toga, prožela me je senzacija – promene. Neodređene, ali nezanemarljive, nepovratne i neverovatne, koja se dâ uporediti sa saznanjem da Zemlja nije ravna, niti da stoji u centru svemira. Neodređeno je, jer to ne osećamo neposredno, ali otkrili smo da smo statistička anomalija, a ne ovozemaljska stvorenja sa onozemaljskom svrhom. Posle toga povratka nema, a nekima je prilično teško da u to veruju, jer im jedan život, bez iluzija, ne može ugasiti žeđ.”
