Highlighted moments
notice in these examples I just gave, that independence, ironically, is something that is born out of a state of dependence.
“rationality is a transformation of our animal life, not something that allows us to escape from it.”
“the fact that person is hungry, the need alone is reason enough for someone to take action on it.”
“a person in a wheelchair is far more disabled when a building they're trying to get into only has stairs to get into it.”
