I had a professor...who taught the introduction to tactical
engineering course. He said he never bothered changing his tests from term to
term to prevent cheating, because while the questions were always the same,
the answers changed. I'd thought he was joking. --Miles Vorkosigan in Memory, by Lois McMaster Bujold
The nature of identity is a loaded question for those who deviate from the mythical norm because to see identity as anything but fixed and inherent means having to defend the value of particular choices.... This is what leads people to brandish any badge of oppression they can claim, in order to trump themselves into a position of nonresponsibility for anything. Everyone becomes done-unto, never the doer. It's dangerous to rely on an identiy founded on being innocent because none of us is ever completely innocent. --Lisa Kahaleole Chang Hall, "Bitches in Solitude: Identity Politics and Lesbian Community," Sisters, Sexperts, Queers: Beyond the Lesbian Nation
I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth. --Ursula K. LeGuin, "Introduction," The Left Hand of Darkness
