Stereotypes, they're sensual, cultural weapons.
That's the way that we attack people. At an
artistic level, stereotypes are terrible writing.
Junot Diaz
"Neoteny" is "remaining young" and... human
evolution has been dominated by it. Behavioral
traits such as curiosity about the world,
flexibility of response, and playfulness is common
to all young mammals... Humanity has
advanced, not because it has been sober,
responsible, and cautious, but because it has
been playful, rebellious, and immature.
Tom Robbins
It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change.
Charles Darwin
The most potent weapon in the hands
of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
Steven Bantu Biko
The pursuit of otherness, the sense that we are
somehow different than our brothers and sisters,
allows for all the great evils.
Anna Quindlen
The problem with stereotypes is not that they are
untrue, but that they are incomplete.
They make one story become the only story.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Eroticism is first and foremost
a thirst for otherness.
Octavio Paz
