When men decided women could be educated - this is what I think - they educated them on the male plan; they put them into schools with mottoes and school songs and muddy team games, they made them were collars and ties. It was a way to concede the right to learning, yet remain safe; the products of the system would always be inferior to the original model. Women were forced to imitate men, and bound not to succeed at it. ↗
All men should be feminists. If men care about women’s rights the world will be a better place. We are better off when women are empowered – it leads to a better society. ↗
…bu kitap minimalist bir ressamla ilgili ve konu minimalist sanat olduğu zaman fark ettim ki ben agnostik hatta belki ateistim. Bu kelimeleri kullanıyorum çünkü bence minimalizme ya inanırsınız ya da inanmazsınız -bir Hockney, bir Hopper ya da bir Monet söz konusu olduğunda size tanınmayan bir şanstır bu. Karşımızda Irwin var (şans bu ya sevilesi, düşünceli bir adam) turuncu bir zemin üzerinde türlü düz çizgilerden ibaret olan en son desen çizimleriyle: “Bakınca… tablolara algısal açıdan, gözünüzün havanın, uzayın hatta kısacık bir mesafenin orta yerinde takılı kaldığını fark ediyorsunuz: varlığınızın uzay-zaman süreklisinde kaynaşıyor uzay ve zaman. Tam bir meditasyon halinde buluyorsunuz kendinizi.” Size böyle bir şey olmazsa ne olacak? Demek istediğim, herkese olmuyordur herhalde bu, öyle değil mi? Ne kalıyor o zaman elinizde? Katoliklerin de komünyon ayinine katıldığınız zaman olabileceklerle ilgili benzer bir iddiada bulunabilecekleri geldi aklıma. İsa’nın bedeniyle incecik bir ekmek parçası arasında çok büyük bir fark var. ↗
...if in the heat of the dispute he insists and asks, 'Am I not the master of throwing myself out of the window?' I shall answer him, no; that whilst he preserves his reason there is no probability that the desire of proving his free agency, will become a motive sufficiently powerful to make him sacrifice his life to the attempt: if, notwithstanding this, to prove he is a free agent, he should actually precipitate himself from the window, it would not be a sufficient warranty to conclude he acted freely, but rather that it was the violence of his temperament which spurred him on to this folly. Madness is a state, that depends upon the heat of the blood, not upon the will. A fanatic or a hero, braves death as necessarily as a more phlegmatic man or a coward flies from it. ↗
[Y]ou possess all the attributes of a demagogue; a screeching, horrible voice, a perverse, crossgrained nature and the language of the market-place. In you all is united which is needful for governing. ↗
Here is nature once more at her old game of self-preservation. This train of thought, she perceives, is threatening mere waste of energy, even some collision with reality, for who will ever be able to lift a finger against Whitaker’s Table of Precedency? The Archbishop of Canterbury is followed by the Lord High Chancellor; the Lord High Chancellor is followed by the Archbishop of York. Everybody follows somebody, such is the philosophy of Whitaker; and the great thing is to know who follows whom. Whitaker knows, and let that, so Nature counsels, comfort you, instead of enraging you; and if you can’t be comforted, if you must shatter this hour of peace, think of the mark on the wall. 11 I understand Nature’s game—her prompting to take action as a way of ending any thought that threatens to excite or to pain. Hence, I suppose, comes our slight contempt for men of action—men, we assume, who don’t think. Still, there’s no harm in putting a full stop to one’s disagreeable thoughts by looking at a mark on the wall. ↗
