Who said “Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing…”?

“It is silly to call fat people ''gravitationally challenged'' -- a self-righteous fetishism of language which is no more than a symptom of political frustration.”

“It seems our fate to be incorrect (look where we live, for example), and in our incorrectness stand.”

“We have needed to define ourselves by reclaiming the words that define us. They have used language as weapons. When we open ourselves to what they say and how they say it, our narrow prejudices evaporate and we are nourished and armed.”

“If you do not regard feminism with an uplifting sense of the gloriousness of woman's industrial destiny, or in the way, in short, that it is prescribed, by the rules of the political publicist, that you should, that will be interpreted by your opponents as an attack on woman.”

“Al forms of consensus about ''great'' books and ''perennial'' problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of ''what is already known.'' Those great books don't only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”

“Laughter is by definition healthy.”

“Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.”

“In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools.”

“If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.”

“It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.”

“That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.”
