We are children of our age, it’s a political age. All day long, all through the night, all affairs—yours, ours, theirs— are political affairs. Whether you like it or not, your genes have a political past, your skin, a political cast, your eyes, a political slant. Whatever you say reverberates, whatever you don’t say speaks for itself. So either way you’re talking politics. Even when you take to the woods, you’re taking political steps on political grounds - Wislava Szymborska
