Quotations

  • 2002, Michael J. Shapiro, Jane Bennett, The Politics of Moralizing:
    As we all know, some twelve billion years ago the gods created the universe, including the [...] dinosaurs and such like, but after a while found these huge creatures rather tedious and jejune. [...] Turning from gigantism to miniaturism, the gods then created little creatures on earth, including humans, hoping they might be more nuanced and unpredictable.
