A Quote From This Episode
- (When speaking about the work of Levina) "Every time you come up with a definition of what a human is, and you say, ‘This is what all humans are,’ somebody's not going to fit that definition...and they're going to become an ‘other.’ Instead, we need to see that each person is an infinity.”
