“THIS IS WHAT A MAN LOOKS LIKE. HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING; HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MUSCULAR; HE DESERVES NOT TO BE PHOTOSHOPPED. HE IS HUMAN, AND HE HAS BLEMISHES. HERE HE STANDS, VISIBLE. HE SEES YOU ALL, COUNTLESS INVISIBLE OTHERS LIKE HIM. THIS BODY IS ACCEPTABLE — PUBESCENT, AWKWARD, MARRED. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE INVISIBLE. WE ARE ALL GOOD ENOUGH. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR BODIES.”
― Agnostic Zetetic

It is the more intelligent, the more knowledgeable, the more creative, more innovative. And there are no hormones for those attributes.

― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

― Jack Gilbert, Collected Poems

Mankind has the choice to make. There are only two poles, and there is no middle way.”
― Otto Weininger, Sex and Character: An Investigation of Fundamental Principles

“Life managed without males for its first billion years, much of which was passed as single cells in a series of warm ponds. Then, in some ancient and neutral Eden, the fruit of the tree of sexual knowledge - a new mutation - persuaded members of a particular clone to fuse with cells from another, and then to divide. That ingenious idea is good news for the novel gene, as it doubles its rate of spread, but is a lot less so for those who receive it, who are obliged to copy the extra DNA. At once, two factions emerge, one keen to force itself upon the other. Thus sex was invented.
Soon one contestant began to cheat. Large cells are expensive, but are better at dividing because they have more food reserves. Small cells are cheaper to make, but cannot afford to split. Their sole chance of success hence lies in fusion with a large cell. The first males had appeared on the scene.”
― Steve Jones, Y: The Descent of Men

“Lascian poi alle volte le cose più imbrogliate di prima. Quelli che fanno il bene, lo fanno all’ingrosso: quand’hanno provata quella soddisfazione, n’hanno abbastanza e non si viglion seccare a star dietro a tutte le conseguenze: ma coloro che hanno quel gusto di fare il male, ci mettono più diligenza, ci stanno dietro fino alla fine, non prendono mai requie, perché hanno qualche canchero che li rode.”
― Alessandro Manzoni, The Betrothed

“We have reached the end of the road that is built on the set of traits held out for male identity--advance at any cost, pay any price, drive out all competitors, and kill them if necessary.... we have arrived at a point from which we must seek a basis of faith in connection-- and not only faith but recognition that it is a requirement for the existence of human beings.”
― Gary Paul Nabhan Stephan Trimble, The Geography of Childhood: Why Children Need Wild Places

“If your God loves virgins, why he has created both male and female?”
― M.F. Moonzajer

“Allora gli dissi quello che aveva continuato a girarmi per la testa. Belano, gli dissi, il nocciolo della questione è sapere se il male (o il delitto o il crimine o come vuole chiamarlo) è casuale o causale. Se è causale possiamo lottare contro di lui, è difficile da sconfiggere ma c'è una possibilità, più o meno come fra due pugili dello stesso peso. Se è casuale, al contrario, siamo fregati. Che Dio, se esiste, abbia pietà di noi. È a questo che si riduce tutto.”
― Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

― Geoffrey Wood

― Tom Cox, The Good, the Bad and the Furry: Life with the World's Most Melancholy Cat and Other Whiskery Friends

....even me.
...I can't deny.”

“Non c'è luogo, in questo mondo, dove lo squallore e la crudeltà fioriscano lussureggianti come per le strade di Muspel. Vi si può trovare qualsiasi cosa, viva o morta, ma spesso si tratta più di una via di mezzo tra le due, perché dove la vita si assottiglia, fino a strisciare nelle vie soffocanti ricolme di bazar, non esiste più confine tra bene e male.”
― Mila Fois, ARDA 2300 - Kronos ed Aion Due nomi per il tempo
