“They want us to be afraid.
They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes.
They want us to barricade our doors
and hide our children.
Their aim is to make us fear life itself!
They want us to hate.
They want us to hate 'the other'.
They want us to practice aggression
and perfect antagonism.
Their aim is to divide us all!
They want us to be inhuman.
They want us to throw out our kindness.
They want us to bury our love
and burn our hope.
Their aim is to take all our light!
They think their bricked walls
will separate us.
They think their damned bombs
will defeat us.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that my soul and your soul are old friends.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that when they cut you I bleed.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that we will never be afraid,
we will never hate
and we will never be silent
for life is ours!”

“If you’re listening to this, congratulations! You survived Doomsday.
I’d like to apologize straightaway for any inconvenience the end of the world may have caused you. The earthquakes, rebellions, riots,tornadoes, floods, tsunamis, and of course the giant snake who swallowed the sun—I’m afraid most of that was our fault. Carter and I decided we should at least explain how it happened.”
― The Serpent's Shadow

“Yes, an actual full-sized camel. If you find that confusing, just think how the criosphinx must have felt.
Where did the camel come from, you ask? I may have mentioned Walt’s collection of amulets. Two of them summoned disgusting camels. I’d
met them before, so I was less than excited when a ton of dromedary flesh flew across my line of sight, plowed into the sphinx, and collapsed on top
of it. The sphinx growled in outrage as it tried to free itself. The camel grunted and farted.
“Hindenburg,” I said. Only one camel could possibly fart that badly. “Walt, why in the world—?”
“Sorry!” he yelled. “Wrong amulet!”
The technique worked, at any rate. The camel wasn’t much of a fighter, but it was quite heavy and clumsy. The criosphinx snarled and clawed
at the floor, trying unsuccessfully to push the camel off; but Hindenburg just splayed his legs, made alarmed honking sounds, and let loose gas.
I moved to Walt’s side and tried to get my bearings.”

“A rebel! How glorious the name sounds when applied to a woman. Oh, rebellious woman, to you the world looks in hope. Upon you has fallen the glorious task of bringing liberty to the earth and all the inhabitants thereof.”

“There again," said Syme irritably, "what is there poetical about being in revolt? You might as well say that it is poetical to be sea-sick. Being sick is a revolt. Both being sick and being rebellious may be the wholesome thing on certain desperate occasions; but I'm hanged if I can see why they are poetical. Revolt in the abstract is – revolting. It's mere vomiting.”

“Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure; and, in my choyce,
To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heav'n.”

“In life, there are brief and momentary opportunities that ask us to assert our existence. Although a creative impulse, they can be destructive, because they make us veer away from our normal patterns and habits. Life is compelling us to take these small acts of rebellion so we can go beyond the edges of ourselves, and by doing so, we end up rediscovering ourselves. These moments are a great reminder that, like all other animals, we are, and will always be, wild.”

“Shame be damned—own the ruin of yourself.
Wear the failure like a vintage coat
—torn, tattered heart—
you are a worn out classic,
a soul of arcane salt and grit.
Outcast,
iconoclast,
standfast.
Beyond the black and white blah of buttondown norm
we clash and crash
in the candle-lit dusk
of conscious dreams and darkest desires”

“The slowness, the fatigue, the late hours, the resistance, the stubborn optimism, the rebellion, the trip thru hell, and yet seeing beauty around. my whole life feels like I’ve just discovered something life-changing decades after it changed everyone else’s. And that ain’t bad.”

“But unity divides. Unity excludes. Unity polarizes. The corollary of the nation’s unity is the elimination of any individuals or groups that disrupt that unity. People who do not concur with the nation’s interests and goals, who persist in voicing their own private interests, who threaten the nation’s unanimity are considered enemies to be banished or punished. Thus, the Rousseauian yearning for cohesion, solidarity, and oneness imposes the psychology of the purge.”

“I like not living up to the expectations of people who don't like me. I enjoy knowing that my choices won't be acceptable to everyone. My feminism doesn't center on those who are comfortable with the status quo because ultimately that road can never lead to equity for girls like me.”

“I couldn't say anything. I could only think about how the world would be without light, without love.
This had to stop.
And I was determined to be the person to stop it.”

“Cuando fracasa el primer intento [de rebelión], lo que, generalmente, suele ocurrir, nos rendimos hasta el siguiente, que ya será más debil y que nos volverá todavía más miserables y derrotados.”

“This is how the wild calls you: in an impulsive moment of joy, in a timeless connection to awe, in a rebellious act of nonconformity, or in a simple, open-hearted choice. When you say yes to the wild, you’re saying yes to the ancient agency of love within you.”

“You were meant to first be subjected to the limitations of the flesh or the experience of NOT knowing what sensuality feels like [that’s why some of us at some point had to be alcoholics, some promiscuous, some rebellious, some married and then later divorced, some abused, some lied to, some cheated on and taken for granted, some abandoned] so that we would be able to know what sensuality DOES NOT feel like and then be delivered from that bondage of decay (or ignorance) into the liberty of knowing what sensuality really feels like.”

“Previously, I had always found joy in doing stupid things like bashing someone’s mailbox with a baseball bat, or throwing eggs at nerds, or making fun of losers. We thought that we were being rebellious, but most kids do stupid stuff like that. We’re all trying to make a name for ourselves and stand out. It wasn’t rebellious at all; self-absorption and self-advocacy were the norm. What I was doing now was true rebellion, truly unique, and meaningful in every way.”

“How do you know? You said lithium didn’t work for some people. It’s not working for me!’ ‘Till the end of the month,’ Dr Stefan said evenly. ‘If there’s no change by then, we’ll try cutting the dose.’ ‘That’s another ten days! What do you care – you’re not the one taking it! That means I have to endure another ten days of hell, walking around like an idiot, bumping into things, forgetting the end of my sentences, feeling only half-alive! How am I supposed to believe this is going to work if it makes me feel like this? Why should I believe a word that you say?’ Dr Stefan smiled slightly. ‘Because, Flynn, this is the most animated I’ve ever seen you. I would venture to say that you’re beginning, just beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.’ Flynn narrowed his eyes in contempt. ‘Well if that’s the case, then, to quote Robert Lowell, it must be the light of the oncoming train.’ Dr Stefan threw his head back and roared with laughter.”

“You’re a good girl. You’re so good, you’ve let the desire to be it overtake you. It’s defined who you are.
…. You’ve always believed being this way was going to somehow save your life, but it’s stolen it instead. Let me ask, what did being good ever do for you?”
