  1. Bell Hooks _ Feminist Theory: From Margin

    As a black woman interested in feminist movement, I am often asked whether being black is more important than being a woman; whether feminist struggle to end sexist oppression is more important than the struggle to racism or vice versa. All such questions are rooted in competitive either/or thinking, the belief that the self is formed in opposition to an other...Most people are socialized to think in terms of opposition rather than compatibility. Rather than seeing anti-racist work as totally compatible with working to end sexist oppression, they often see them as two movements competing for first place.

  2. Jeanette Winterson _ Gut Symmetries

    If the universe is movement, it will not be in one direction only. We think of our lives as linear but it is the spin of the earth that allows us to observe time. Walk with me.

  3. E.M. Forster _ Aspects of the Novel

    If human nature does alter it will be because individuals manage to look at themselves in a new way. Here and there people - a very few people, but a few novelists are among them - are trying to do this. Every institution and vested interest is against such a search: organized religion, the State, the family in its economic aspect, have nothing to gain, and it is only when outward prohibitions weaken that it can proceed: history conditions it to that extent. Perhaps the searchers will fail, perhaps it is impossible for the instrument of contemplation to contemplate itself, perhaps if it is possible it means the end of imaginative literature - {...} anyhow-that way lies movement and even combustion for the novel, for if the novelist sees himself differently, he will see his characters differently and a new system of lighting will result.

  4. Ayn Rand _ We the Living

    Well, I always know what I want. And when you know what you want--you go toward it. Sometimes you go very fast, and sometimes only an inch a year. Perhaps you feel happier when you go fast. I don't know. I've forgotten the difference long ago, because it really doesn't matter, so long as you move.

  5. Samuel Beckett _ Krapp's Last Tape & Embers

    I lay down across her with my face in her breasts and my hand on her. We lay there without moving. But under us all moved, and moved us, gently, up and down, and from side to side.{Pause. Krapp's lips move. No sound.}Past midnight. Never knew such silence. The earth might be uninhabited.

  6. Darren Shan _ Lady of the Shades

    I know that no matter how lonely I get, I'll never be truly alone again. Our loved ones don't leave us. They just move out of sight for a while, and wait...in the shades.

  7. Naguib Mahfouz _ السراب

    لا توجد ثمة حركة بين الرجال إلا ووراؤها إمرأة ! المرأة تلعب في حياتنا الدور الذي تلعبه قوة الجاذبية بين الأجرام والنجوم
