“I would rather quit public life at seventy, and quit it forever, than to retain public life at a sacrifice to my own self-respect.

“I feel overawed by quantity where counting no longer makes sense. By unrepeatability within such a quantity. By creatures of nature gathered in herds, droves, species, in which each individual, while subservient to the mass, retains some distinguishing features. A crowd of people, birds, insects, or leaves is a mysterious assemblage of variants of certain prototype. A riddle of nature's abhorrence of exact repetition or inability to produce it. Just as the human hand cannot repeat its own gesture, I invoke this disturbing law, switching my own immobile herds into that rhythm.” PeopleFeelsHumansHandsLawCertainIndividualMy OwnProduceCreaturesMassBirdSpeciesCrowdsMysteriousRhythmMake SenseFeaturesRepeatsQuantityGesturesRepetitionInsectsInabilityDisturbingCountingHerdsRiddleInvokeSubservientSwitchingPrototypeAbhorrenceHuman HandsAssemblage Author:Magdalena Abakanowicz
“My own take on the word "transgender" is that it's an umbrella term for anyone who breaks any rules, laws, guidelines or protocol of gender. So, to really be an ally, it's important that you recognize and embrace your own transgender nature. Really, I haven't met a single person who doesn't break some rule of gender. In other words, we will assimilate you. Resistance is futile.” PersonsImportantLawTermMy OwnBreakHavensMetsEmbraceGenderResistanceAlliesTransgenderUmbrellaSingle PersonGuidelinesProtocol Author:Kate Bornstein
“Treat all men alike.... give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who is born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. We only ask an even chance to live as other men live. We ask to be recognized as men. Let me be a free man...free to travel... free to stop...free to work...free to choose my own teachers...free to follow the religion of my Fathers...free to think and talk and act for myself.” ThinkingMenGivingShouldWellsMightRunningLawAsksFatherGrowsBornChanceMy OwnLibertyTeacherPleaseRiversTreatsLet MeDeniedNative AmericanFree ManNative AmericaNative American IndianGreat Native American Author:Dee Brown
