The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, for the truth.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

This is my school. We created a student fee of $30 to go towards a scholarship for undocumented students. We have been working all year for this to happen and it’s now happening and is reaching the big media. Unfortunately Fox News and other conservative outlets are attacking us.

The story of how attachment to reproducing the intelligibility of the world nudges effective forces into line with normative realism is also the story of liberal subjectivity’s fantasies of individual and collective sovereignty, the public and the private, the past’s relation to the future, and the distribution of sensibilities that discipline the imaginary about what the good life is and how proper people act.
Lauren Berlant, Cruel Optimism (53)
I was wondering myself if I know where I am going. […] I am trying, precisely, to put myself at a point so that I do not know any longer where I am going.
Jacques Derrida, “Structure, Sign and Play” (267)
[T]he voice is regarded as the true, corporeal expression of lived experience and the realization of personal intention. It is as if the voice captures, or more profoundly, the voice is, the pure and unmediated utterance of self. […] Writing in the conventional sense is comparatively evaluated against this notion of unalienated self, or voice, and inevitably it is assumed to be a debasement of this prior moment, a supplementary, or later technology whose rearticulation brings the possibility of misrepresentations and distortions that escape our control.
Vicki Kirby, Quantum Anthropologies (55-56)
[T]he practice of doing critique involves close encounters with another person’s way of thinking, with their intellectual commitments and even the temperament and personal idiosyncrasies that animate their writing style. […] Judith Butler and Bruno Latour have specifically acknowledged that one of the most pressing issues in political analysis today … is the question of critique – how to engage others more generously through interconnection; how to avoid the more murderous maneuvers of dialectical reasoning that negate another’s position as wrong in order to affirm our own position as right – as the one (and only) position.
Vicki Kirby, Quantum Anthropologies (82-83)
What happens if Nature is neither lacking nor primordial, but rather, a plenitude of possibilities, a cacophony of convers(at)ion? Indeed, what if it is the same force field of articulation, reinvention, and frisson that we are used to calling – ‘Culture’? If we embrace the provocations in this suggestion then the conventional landscape of political intervention for those whose identities are denigrated as more primitive (because closer to Nature) shifts considerably. Should feminism and race politics reject the conflation of 'woman’ or 'the other’ with 'Nature,’ or instead, take it as an opportunity to consider the question of origins and identity once again?

[W]henever I try to understand myself the whole fabric of the perceptible world comes too, and with it come the others who are caught in it. Before others are or can be subjected to my conditions of possibility and reconstructed in my image, they must already exist in outlines, deviations, and variants of a single Vision in which I too participate. For they are not fictions with which I might people my desert – offspring of my spirit and forever unactualized possibilities – but my twins or the flesh of my flesh.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Signs (15)
What if power’s original and ongoing purpose, its natural intention, is always/already multiple, contrary, disseminated, incestuous?
Vicki Kirby, Quantum Anthropologies (110)
Language is everything, since it is the voice of no one, since it is the very voice of the things, the waves, and the forests.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty, The Visible and the Invisible (155)
Everything transpires as if the other person’s intuitions and motor realizations existed in a sort of relation of internal encroachment, as if my body and the body of the other person together formed a system. […] [T]here is already a kind of presence of other people within me.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty, “The Experience of Others” (155)
