David GerroldStories about mental aberration and oddity only make sense in context. Just how do people live with someone who is peculiar, gifted, strange or alien?

Matana RobertsBut what else can we do when we're so weak? We invest hours each day, months each year, years each lifetime in something over which we have no control; it is any wonder then, that we are reduced to creating ingenious but bizarre liturgies designed to give us the illusion that we are powerful after all, just as every other primitive community has done when faced with a deep and apparently impenetrable mystery?

PinkAll events, no matter how earthshaking or bizarre, are diluted within moments of their occurrence the the continuance of the necessary routines of day-to-day. -Fitz Most prisons are of our own making.

Walking uphill and into the wind. That suddenly seemed a metaphor for my whole life. -Fitz

Harry ShearerWe live in a screen age, and to say to a kid, โIโd love for you to look at a book but I hate it when you look at the screenโ is just bizarre. It reflects our own prejudices and comfort zone. Itโs nothing but fear of change, of being left out.

Masha GessenThe bizarre but all too common transformation of the woman artist from a producer in her own right into a subject for representation forms a leitmotif in the history of art.

Whitney ChadwickI like comic conventions. I genuinely like comic conventions. I like wandering around from table to table; I like wandering up and down Artist's Alley and saying "Hello" to people. I like hanging out on the DC booth. I can't do that anymore. I'd like to, but I can't. I physically can't. If I stop moving, somebody will come up to me with something to sign, and if I sign it, somehow it's like ants sensing sugar. There will be fifty or a hundred people around me and then fire marshals will come and then I'm trapped in a crowd. It's bizarre.
