“You've fought for Winter so spectacularly, and I am more proud than I have ever been to call you my son. But don't forget to fight for yourself as well--there is no shame in that”

“El sentido subjetivo de libertad, alegado a veces contra el determinismo, no tiene nada que ver con la cuestión en absoluto. La opinión de que tiene algo que ver se basa en la creencia de que las causas hacen inevitables sus efectos, o que la naturaleza impone la obediencia a sus leyes igual que el gobierno. Eso son meras supersticiones antropomórficas, debidas a la asimilación de causas con voliciones y de leyes naturales con edictos humanos.”

“El discurso biologista también ha sido criticado porque justifica y considera inmodificables las diferencias y desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres. "Los hombres son más agresivos por naturaleza y tienen tendencia a dominar. Por lo tanto, el patriarcado es la traducción de las diferentes capacidades naturales de hombres y mujeres llevadas al nivel social." - Steven Goldberg (Sociólogo) "¡Yo soy infiel porque mis genes me obligan a inseminar tantas hembras como pueda!" (MITO DEL CAZADOR-INSEMINADOR) Este tipo de explicaciones hace que no reconozcamos la responsabilidad que tenemos cada un@ de nosotr@s en el mantenimiento de las diferencias y desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres.”

“When you are in the grip of addiction, or when you are severely impacted by someone else’s addiction, eventually nothing works—not even the things that don’t seem obviously related to the addictive substance or behavior. Losing the lease to our apartment and getting my bank account hacked had nothing to do with the fact that Rayya was drugged out of her mind, or that I was lost in a dense fog of codependency—but these are also the kinds of things that happen when your life is falling apart: suddenly it’s raining hammers. Everything unravels. You sprain your ankle, your car breaks down, your dog dies. You can’t handle anything. And that’s when the madness really sets in, because it seems like the world itself is a machine of pain that has turned its full force against you.”

“Si la vida de una persona está sujeta a sus circunstancias, sus memorias, sus aptitudes y sus tendencias, es difícil encontrar un espacio para la libertad, pues parece sometida a una estructura determinista. Pero si la persona, para tomar decisiones libres, pudiera ser insensible a su entorno y a su pasado, entonces viviría una vida sometida al azar. ¿Sería una vida basada en la libertad o más bien una existencia sumergida en el absurdo?”

“Writers and other artistic personalities historically attempted to describe art, what consist of, and inform us how a person creates art. If art is so difficult to describe and quantify, why do we feel compelled to attempt to describe the ineffable? At its core, does all art represent an attempt to communicate the unsayable? Is any discussion about art absurd? Is classifying a piece of writing as literature simply another form of elitism?”

“Talented writers etched the story detailing the travails of broken souls numerous times. The poets recounted an equal amount of times the lucent tears of human laughter and weeping sorrow. Everyone understands bitterness and joy. Conversely, the most evocative aspects of human beings, the bewildering clarification of their ambiguous natures, are virtually indefinable and therefore unutterable. Written testaments to love, truth, beauty, and adoration of nature are inherently weak because words fail to convey what a person experiences inside the spaces that compose their chemical field.”
