Donna Haraway

I'd rather be a cyborg than a goddess.

The boundary between science fiction and social reality is, for me, a permeable membrane.

Cyborgs are not reverent; they do not remember the cosmos.

The world is not a resource, but a co-constitutive partner in the ongoing making of futures.

It matters what thoughts think thoughts. It matters what knowledges know knowledges. It matters what relations relate relations. It matters what worlds world worlds. It matters what stories tell stories.

We are all chthonic ones, children of the earth, but not as a mother, rather as a complex, dynamic, and fragile living system.

Feminist objectivity is about situated knowledges.

The 'god trick' of seeing everything from nowhere.

We need to make kin, not babies.

The task is to make trouble, to stir up potent response to devastating events, as well as to settle troubled waters and rebuild quiet places.

The world is not given, but made.

Science is a story, a contested story, about what counts as nature.

We are responsible for our tools to the extent that we are responsible for our relations to each other.

The world is not a collection of objects, but a network of relations.

Dogs are not about us, but with us.

To be in a relationship is to be in a process of becoming.

The only way to make sense of the world is to learn to live with its contradictions.

We need to learn to be present, not just to exist.

The future is not something we inherit, but something we make.

We are all compost, not posthuman.
