Youāre in a car with a beautiful boy, and youāre trying not to tell him that you love him, and youāre trying to choke down the feeling, [ā¦], but he reaches over and he touches you, [ā¦].
ā Richard Siken
Iāve seen this sentiment elsewhere, and I love it, so Iām going to reword it here: this young woman was so bored and over horny Lord Byron and his boring bullshit, she was like,Ā āI need to get away from these dorks and do something entertaining with myself.ā And Frankenstein (and science fiction) was born.
Science Fiction exists because a teenager got fed up with some creep and his bullshit. Thatās just magnificent.
Tutto questo i ragazzi non lo sanno: o forse imparano, su ignobili testi di storia messi in giro da vecchi arnesi tornati in cattedra, esaltazione del fascismo ed oltraggi alla Resistenza.ā
"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."
Star Trek makes me soooo crazy cuz you got Picard saying things like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."
And Data saying things like "I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant that I could taste my dessert."
And Bashir saying things like āYou can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."
And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."
