“And then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at.  She couldn’t do worse, but then, he couldn’t do better.  So maybe it balanced out.”

"Raistlin is minimalist and only thinks/cares about magic"

Description of Raistlin's room in the 1987 sourcebook Dragonlance Adventures:

Those who enter the tower during this time are undoubtedly here by invitation and are, in any case, completely under Raistlin's control. They therefore see only what Raistlin wants them to see. This might include Raistlin's study, a luxuriously appointed room filled with books, comfortable furniture, and objects of interest from all over Krynn. A fire in the hearth dispells the chill of the tower. The books in this room are not spell books; those are in the laboratory. These books are works of poetry and prose, books on herbal lore and anatomy, books on philosophy, and treatises on magic. The objects decorating the room are also nonmagical, being beautiful or hideous but all curious. These are mementoes Raistlin has acquired in his travels.

I couldn't understand you then either, but I should have known I didn't have to. The mystery was enough. With the whole future reaching forward to welcome us, like respite on a long, cold road, and a door suddenly opening, and you with a warm voice within saying 'come here, sit down with me' [...] It is not necessary to know - I see that, finally, too late. It is only necessary to discover the limits of what we can know so that we don't lose all that we love in the fruitless struggle to understand those we love, when the point was never to understand them, but simply to dance in the mystery of each other. would that I could, or should that I haven't, I have been to the far stars, I have slept beneath the alien moons, I have communed with a noble intelligence, and I would forget it all in a second, every lightyear, for just one more Sunday morning with you.

"This growing scholarship on queer involvement in workplace organising suggests an observation repeatedly cited by union organisers interviewed for this study: queer and trans people show a considerable enthusiasm for joining organising drives at their workplaces, and these drives are more successful as a result of their participation.

Research finds multiple other oppressed social groups similarly both pursue workplace organising more enthusiastically than their counterparts, and that their leadership leads to more successful campaigns. Bronfenbrenner and Warren (2007: 144) find in a statistical analysis of National Labor Relations Board representation elections, rates of union success vary considerably by the demographic composition of the workforce: "[U]nits with a majority of white men have the lowest win rates (35%) compared to units that are a majority of workers of color (53%), majority women (58%) and especially units that are a majority women of color (82%). " Based on these data, they conclude ‘diversity is not the enemy of solidarity’. Bronfenbrenner finds union win rates are consistently higher in industries with substantial women of colour workforces (2005: 442). These findings validate arguments long made by scholars of gender in labour organising (Crain, 1994; Milkman, 1992; Needleman, 1988; Whitefield et al., 2009; Yates, 2006). The intersectional identities of women of colour, in particular, while marginalising them within the labour movement (Kainer, 2016), pushed their unions to adopt broader social justice agendas (Bernardino- Costa, 2014)."

"Anyone who has ever tried to recount a dream to someone else is in a position to measure the immense gap, the qualitative incommensurability, between the vivid memory of the dream and the dull, impoverished words which are all we can find to convey it: yet this incommensurability, between the particular and universal, between the vécu and language itself, is one in which we dwell all our lives [.]" - Fredric Jameson, "Imaginary and Symbolic in Lacan"
