Who knows their own back?

We should be on the lookout for marginalised groups that we still instinctively classify as 'them', not 'us'. We should try to see our similarities with them. We understand this slogan correctly if we see it as an incentive to create a sense of solidarity that has a greater capacity for absorption than our current one. We misunderstand it if we think that it calls on us to recognise such solidarity as something that already exists before we have recognised it. (Richard Rorty)

"Adieu to the adieus. Then complete darkness, pre-burial chimes, very soft, sweet sound, go, beginning of the end. First last second. When there's only enough left to swallow it all up. Happily, second by second. Heaven, earth and all the odds and ends. Not a scrap of carrion left. Lips licked, that's it. No. One more second. Just one more. Long enough to breathe this emptiness. To get to know it, happiness." (Samuel Beckett)
