Haraway, Donna

"We must learn to think in terms of relationships, not substances."

"The present is always thick with the past and open to the future."

"We are all implicated in the structures we seek to critique."

"Response-ability is the capacity and obligation to respond."

"We need ways of knowing that honor complexity and plurality."

"The monsters we fear often contain what we need to become otherwise."

"We are cyborgs, all of us are chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our politics."

"The promise of monsters is that they are not afraid."

"Situated knowledges are about responsibility and accountability, not objectivity from nowhere."

"I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess, because the cyborg refuses the totalizing myths of origin."

"Nature is not hidden and waiting to be unveiled by science; it is actively produced through our practices and narratives."

"The trouble with the cyborg is that it has no origin story in the Western sense—a great advantage."

"Feminism is about making the personal political and recognizing power operates at every scale."

"We need to learn to remember across difference, not to erase it."

"Tentacular thinking requires us to imagine otherwise, to live with the trouble of our times."

"Storytelling is a practice of worldmaking; it matters what stories we tell to tell stories with."

"The boundary between science fiction and social reality is an optical illusion."

"Kinship ties us to those we did not choose; making kin is about response-ability."

"We are not separate from nature; we are nature becoming conscious of itself."

"The cyborg is a figuration that promises a way beyond dualisms of mind and body, nature and culture."

"Staying with the trouble means cultivating the capacity to live and die well in catastrophic times."

"Knowledge production is always a practice of power; there is no view from nowhere."

"We must learn to think with and for the more-than-human world."

"Companion species shape each other in ways that matter ethically and politically."

"The Anthropocene is a naming that erases many complicities and responsibilities."

"What gets called science is always already cultural, political, and partial."

"We must be multispecies storytellers, not masters of nature."

"Responsibility is about recognizing our entanglements and responding to them."

"The promise of making kin is to live otherwise than in the catastrophe of our inheritance."

"Situated knowledge is an alternative to the view from nowhere that claims objectivity."
