I do situate myself in this problem of being a Jew who doesn't want to be represented by the state of Israel, a state that claims to represent all Jewish people and make me into a potential citizen.

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.

To operate within the matrix of power is not the same as to replicate uncritically relations of domination.

As we interpret ourselves differently, we also live ourselves differently.

Gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original; in fact, it is a kind of imitation that produces the very notion of the original as an effect and consequence of the imitation itself.

You do not need to be a mountain to feel strong. Be like a little flexible stream to have true power.

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay falsehood by haste and uncertainty.

A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value.

Most teens aren’t addicted to social media; if anything, they’re addicted to each other.

I do today what people won't, so I achieve tomorrow what other people can't.

If the whole is to be Art, the parts must not try to be.

The suns going down and we cant afford to come back to it tomorrow.

No man can give me any word but Wait.
