Quote by Mei Hachimoku

“I mean, it's true, though. There's no value in being ordinary. The law of scarcity applies to way more than just economics. Rare, life-changing experiences are worth exponentially more than your average day-to-day. I'd much rather live a short, fulfilling life than a long and boring one.”

“Death comes for us all in the end, and we kind of just have to accept that in order to cope through life until we ultimately kick the bucket ourselves. Not like denying the human condition will keep the reaper at bay, after all. Then once you're gone, any traces of you ever having been alive will slowly fade away and be swallowed by the sands of time. With very, very few exceptions, every single person alive today will be long forgotten even just 200 years from now. That's what my grandfather's death made me realize.”

“It's pretty distressing, don't you think> The thought of dying and leaving nothing behind. The world not changing one iota from your having been in it. Makes you wonder what the point of even living in the first place is, you know. Like, why are we even here? Why bother putting in all the effort to live if only to suffer and die and be forgotten? That's what makes the thought of being ordinary so terrifying to me. That's why I'm determined to be someone. Someone who'll be remembered. Who'll actually leave an unforgettable mark on this world. Someone extraordinary.”

“Somos los jacobinos negros y maricas, las bolleras rojas, los desahuciados verdes, somos los trans sin papeles, los animales de laboratorio y de los mataderos, los trabajadores y trabajadoras informático-sexuales, putones diversos funcionales, somos los sin tierra, los migrantes, los autistas, los que sufrimos de déficit de atención, exceso de tirosina, falta de serotonina, somos los que tenemos demasiada grasa, los discapacitados, los viejos en situación precaria. Somos la diáspora rabiosa. Somos los reproductores fracasados de la tierra, los cuerpos imposibles de rentabilizar para la economía del conocimiento. [...] Somos la red viva descentralizada. Rechazamos una ciudadanía definida a partir de nuestra fuerza de producción o nuestra fuerza de reproducción. No somos bio-operarios productores de óvulos, ni cavidades gestantes, ni inseminadores espermáticos.”
