The Soul of Man, and Prison Writings | Oscar Wilde

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it.” #uniform #QuotsyJune19

Crazeedi Very difficult to achieve, but a worthy goal 5y

The Giver | Lois Lowry

“Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with difference. We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.”

Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body | Roxane Gay

“When I wear my typical uniform, it feels like safety, like I can hide in plain sight. I become less of a target. I am taking up space, but I am doing so in an unassuming manner so I am less of a problem, less of a disturbance. This is what I tell myself. “ from Roxane Gay‘s Hunger: A Memoir of my Body.
