Demiş CHRISTINE DELPHY RETHINKING SEX AND GENDER makalesinde
Having the courage to face the unknown is a prerequisite for imagination, and the capacity to imagine another world is an essential element of scientific progress. Absolutely indispensable to my analysis. Bilinmeyenle yüzleşme cesaretine sahip olmak, hayal gücünün ön koşuludur ve başka bir dünyayı hayal etme kapasitesi, bilimsel ilerlemenin temel bir unsurudur. Analizim için kesinlikle vazgeçilmez.
A few days after our arrival, I was walking with my interpreter—a young Serb refugee from Sarajevo—in the former Muslim part of the city taking pictures. An individual suddenly appeared out of a little cafe where he had obviously been drinking and ordered me to stop taking pictures. At the same time, he demanded in a threatening manner to see my identity document. All this happened in the presence of two local Bosnian Serb policemen, who nodded approvingly. Assuming by his demeanor that he was a local official, I obeyed. What was striking about him was that both his hands were covered by snake tattoos. When he saw my Greek passport his mood changed completely. A smile lit up his face and he said, “Greeks and Serbs are brothers!” He then embraced me and began pulling me toward the cafe where he had been sitting to offer me a drink. “Together we will fuck the Muslims!” he said gleefully.

He climbed down with the leaves in his teeth; when they were back on the roof, he gave one to Hephaistion, saying, "Now do you know we shall go to war together?" The leaf sat in Hephaistion's hand, about the size of a real one. Like a real one it was trembling; quickly he shut his fingers on it. He felt now the full horror of the climb, the tiny mosaic of great flagstones far below, his loneliness at the climax. He had gone up in a fierce resolve to face, if it killed him, whatever ordeal Alexander should set to test him. Only now, with the gilt-bronze edges biting his palm, he saw that the test had not been for him. He was the witness. He had been taken up there to hold in his hand the life of Alexander, who had been asked if he meant what he had said. It was his pledge of friendship.

A poem about legacies and death
In the poem, the statue of Ozymandias, the king of kings, lies decaying in a distant desert. Only the pedestal, two upright legs and a face, remains of his statue; the rest is shattered and buried under lone and level sands. Netiher his mighty power as a king nor his statue, his legacy, could withstand the passage of merciless time. This poem reminds me of the 76-77th stanzas of Hávámál, a collection of Old Norse poems about philosophy of life. However, these stanzas and Ozymandias are more like two sides of the same coin, they complete each other. They both give the message of "memento mori" (remember you are a mortal), and speak about leaving a legacy. Ozymandias does this by the statue of Ozymandias, the king of kings while 76-77th stanzas of Hávámál give this message through the experiences of common man; however, this time the speaker is Odin - the king of gods. The message, along with memento mori, is that immortality is only achieved through a legacy: through the tales of the one who lived and died; through the reputation they leave behind. Man is the legacy he leaves behind. Nothing more, nothing less. Although Hávámál presents legacies as more heroic, personally, I always thought about legacies similar to that of Ozymandias. Even the legacy, the statue, of King Ozymandias lies broken into pieces in a distant desert; forgotten and covered with sand. No matter how mighty and powerful you are, no matter what your title is, no matter how powerful your legacy is, time and death will erase everything. In the end, good or bad, nothing matters. Everything is doomed to be swallowed by the sands of time.

“Your face is familiar to me as my own. Now that I know I won’t ever see yours again, it feels as though a part of me has died.”

Our culture today confuses great attention and great success, assuming them to be the same thing. But they are not. You are great. Already. Whether you realize it or not. Whether anybody else realizes it or not. And it’s not because you launched an iPhone app, or finished school a year early, or bought yourself a sweet-ass boat. These things do

“You’re with me, baby,” I told her. “Get in.” Not waiting to even see the look on her face, I slid into my seat and leaned over to open the passenger side door.
"Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in England is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth."

I got a song filled with shit for the strong-willed When the world gives you a raw deal Sets you off 'til you scream, "Piss off! Screw you!" When it talks to you like you don't belong Or tells you you're in the wrong field When something's in your mitochondrial 'Cause it latched on to you, like- Knock knock, let
