Neutral men are the devil's allies.

Summary

This quote suggests that those who attempt to stay neutral or indifferent in times of conflict or moral dilemmas are inadvertently supporting and enabling evil. The implication is that it is not enough to simply avoid taking sides or turning a blind eye to injustice, as this can make one complicit in furthering the negative agenda. By choosing not to actively oppose evil or support what is right, neutral individuals are seen as aligning themselves with those who perpetrate wrongdoing.

She's a male construct, and she's afraid women will deconstruct her. She's afraid of everything, because she can't change. Thighs forever thin and shining hair and shining teeth and she's my Mom, too, all seven percent of her. And she never grows old.

In my dream I know I am falling. But there is no up or down, no walls or sides or ceilings, just the sensation of cold and darkness everywhere. I am so scared I could scream. But when I open my mouth, nothing happens. And I wonder if you fall forever and never touch down, is it really still falling? I think I will fall forever.
