The cyborg is text, machine, body and metaphor –all theorized and engaged in practice in terms of communications.
-- Donna Haraway

無論在意識型態或物質上，我們都無法回到從前。不僅「神」已死，「女神」也死了。
── Donna Haraway

In order to be a promise, a promise must be capable of being broken and therefore capable of not being a promise (for a breakable promise is not no promise).
-- Jacques Derrida

There is a danger in making deconstruction coherent with Marxism. Everything that's useful in deconstruction will bite and dust, transformed into something that seems more radical. And everything that's expandable in Marxism in all kinds of different contexts will shrink into an extremely history-specific, race-specific, class-specific, trade-specific way of talking about doing things. A coherence between them would be worth no more than the satisfaction of coherence
-- Gayatri Spivak 1990

至少我知道，英文 sex 和 gender 所發生的事情，並不等同於 génro, genre 和 Geschlecht 的情況。在廣大的全球區域之中，上述語言都是活生生政治的一部份，所有女性運動都具有特定的歷史，這是造成差異的首要因素。舊有的文化霸權文法家 ―― 包括性學家 ―― 已經喪失對性別及其繁衍的眾姐妹們的控制。歐洲與北美無法再去規訓它帝國主義化的語言在二十世紀的命運。然而，如何把我的 sex/gender 問題用俄文或中文來表示，我真的毫無頭緒。
── Donna Haraway

The limit of Marx’s consideration consists in his reducing the form of value to an objective measure.
-- Antonio Negri

Biology has intrinsically been a branch of political discourse, not a compendium of objective truth.
-- Donna Haraway

Feminism, like science, is a myth, a contest for public knowledge.
-- Donna Haraway

Science is our myth.
-- Donna Haraway
