We need to be I think equally sensitive to the injurious power of certain kinds of speech acts but also to the subversive and possibly liberatory effects of certain kinds of play.

Gender is not something that one is, it is something one does, an act… a doing rather than a being.

Masculine and feminine roles are not biologically fixed but socially constructed.

We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.

Possibility is not a luxury; it is as crucial as bread.

There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender... identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results.

We form ourselves within the vocabularies that we did not choose, and sometimes we have to reject those vocabularies, or actively develop new ones.

All of us, as bodies, are in the active position of figuring out how to live with and against the constructions - or norms - that help to form us.

If I maintain my silence about my secret it is my prisoner...if I let it slip from my tongue, I am ITS prisoner.

If you dont see me on tour, its because I have found happiness away from winning, and that might be the biggest achievement I could ever accomplish.

A lie, as you probably know, has a taste all its own. Blocky and bitter and never quite right.

Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest!

We are always faced with different challenges, and circumstances necessitate bringing out the greatness God puts in all of us.

Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds

It's hard being Thom Yorke. You have to get up every morning and look at that face and not shoot at it with a gun.
