With regards to #6. My ex is definitely not worth doing.

I love to see my favourite poet Christopher Poindexter getting noticed! He has been published this year and 'Naked Human' is just beautiful.
persondude27
The second one ("Not only did I love her") is my favorite poem ever. I bough a signed copy for the girl in my life and Chris was a rad dude.
bigwhitewoman
I bought a signed copy of his book, I adore him, even being all the way in the UK. She's a very lucky lady!

Thanks,& I met a guy who was way into her ideals (hadn't read any of her books, w/e), needless to say it was excruciating to be around him.
ElementOfConfusion
Baggage. It does nothing to change the merit of that one quote.
Kiore
I don't personally think that quote has merit in the context of the other socially-minded quotes, and especially in the context she uses it.
ElementOfConfusion
In this case context is irreverent, it represents an idea. But it was out of place, it was ruthless, but others were about not being so.

Nothing "rapey" (or accurate) about that quote. It was the main character of the book talking to his dean.

"In fact, the well-being of others, especially those closest to us, is one of our primary (and, indeed, most selfish) interests."
lapotat
She makes it seem like a bad thing
Iwantedtochangemyusernamebutcouldntthinkofanythinggood
Look, she had faults (true for everyone) but she's become a person that people write-off and attack without even researching.

She "makes it seem" that being the best person you can and forming values from a rational, objective view of the natural world are virtues.
