"Certainly it sounds sexier, these days, to lay claim to being a cyborg than a goddess. But why disaggregate the two when there surely must be cyborgian goddesses in our midst? Now that is a becoming-intersectional assemblage that I could really appreciate." (Puar 2012: 63)

"Literature is not just an educational tool or a form of entertainment, but a vital device for the formation of identity (essential to the self-organized criticality of the human species). Because literature creates order out of chaos, it has the power to mutate and transform."
