"I was off to Yale to be a lesbian"

--

Judith Butler

“Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.”
“It is the fundamental theory of all the more recent American law...that the average citizen is half-witted, and hence not to be trusted to either his own devices or his own thoughts.”
“Miserliness is the one vice that grows stronger with increasing years. It yields its sordid pleasures to the end.”
“I study children, and they're my subjects in my studies. They're my colleagues, really, all these little kids. And I owe them.”
“I'm sometimes critical about other artists who come out with something different until maybe I hear the music. If the music is there, then they did their job, and I'll enjoy the CD.”
“Developing a cheerful disposition can permit an atmosphere wherein one's spirit can be nurtured and encouraged to blossom and bear fruit. Being pessimistic and negative about our experiences will not enhance the quality of our lives. A determination to be of good cheer can help us and those around us to enjoy life more fully.”
“For with slight efforts how should we obtain great results? It is foolish even to desire it.”
“One of the great joys of life, now that you can afford a nice suit, is getting one for free. That's why I like to do press tours - I always say making movies is just an excuse to get free clothing.”
