Laurie Lee Quote: “I don’t know what idiocies drove…”

I don’t know what idiocies drove me in those days, but they were naive, innocent idiocies in many ways.

August 24, 2021 1914, English, June 26, Laurie Lee, Quotes by Poets

Judith Butler Quote: “To say that gender is performative…”

To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.

August 23, 2021 1956, American, February 24, Judith Butler, Quotes by Philosophers

Philip Schultz Quote: “I found many ways around my…”

We get on the bandwagon in all sorts of ways – you know minor ways and major ways – like what you’ve just encountered which isn’t censorship exactly, it was something sort of uglier in a way.
