Andrew Solomon Zitate

Gay rights are not primarily marriage rights, and for the millions who live in unaccepting places with no resources, dignity remains elusive. I am lucky to have forged meaning and built identity, but that's still a rare privilege. And gay people deserve more, collectively, than the crumbs of justice.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Rechte für Homosexuelle sind nicht in erster Linie Heiratsrechte, und für die Millionen Menschen, die an unakzeptablen Orten ohne Ressourcen leben, bleibt die Würde schwer fassbar. Ich habe das Glück, einen Sinn geschaffen und Identität aufgebaut zu haben, aber das ist immer noch ein seltenes Privileg. Und schwule Menschen verdienen kollektiv mehr als die Krümel der Gerechtigkeit.

Examples is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh.

Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.

James Stephens

Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.
