Sexual assault and domestic violence are difficult things to talk about. Talk about them anyway.

Mariska Hargitay

All violence consists of some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.

Leo Tolstoy

You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender.

John Mark Green

What I propose, therefore, is very simple: it is nothing more than to think what we are doing.

Hannah Arendt

"The Human Condition"

If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.

Benjamin Franklin

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

Garry Winogrand

If you are a writer for a specific nation or a specific race, then fuck you.

Dambudzo Marechera

There are some whose hearts are so large that they can be entered without knocking. There are some whose hearts are so frail that they can be broken with a finger.

Jacques Brel

If we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere.

Seamus Heaney

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

Maya Angelou

Loyalty is rare. If you find it, keep it.

The strength of Woke ideology is its lack of scripture. Much like during the French Revolution, orthodoxy is in flux, tending toward increasing radicalization. There is a constant tension where the adherents know their membership is purely contingent on the mob's consensus.

I'd rather be rude than a fucking liar.

The eighteenth-century polymath Thomas Young was the last person to have read all the books published in his lifetime. That means that he would've read all the Shakespeare and all the Greek and Roman classics and all the theology and all the philosophy and all the science. But the same man today, a man who had read all the books published today, would've had to've read all Dan Brown's novels, two volumes of Chris Moyles' autobiography, The World According to Clarkson by Jeremy Clarkson, The World according to Clarkson II by Jeremy Clarkson, The World according to Clarkson III by Jeremy Clarkson... his mind would be awash with bad metaphors and unsustainable, reactionary opinion; one long anecdote about the time that Comedy Dave put a pound coin in the urinal. In short, the man who had read everything published today would be more stupid than a man who had read nothing. That's not a good state of affairs.

Stewart Lee

The common prejudice that love is as common as "romance" may be due to the fact that we all learned about it first through poetry. But the poets fool us; they are the only ones to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience, which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one.

Hannah Arendt

"The Human Condition"

Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and when they can pick it up. Armed uprising by itself has never yet led to revolution.

Hannah Arendt

Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance.

Hannah Arendt

"Crises of the Republic: Lying in Politics; Civil Disobedience; On Violence; Thoughts on Politics and Revolution"

Violence can always destroy power; out of the barrel of a gun grows the most effective command, resulting in the most instant and perfect obedience. What never can grow out of it is power.

Hannah Arendt

"Crises of the Republic: Lying in Politics; Civil Disobedience; On Violence; Thoughts on Politics and Revolution"

Violence can destroy power; it is utterly incapable of creating it.

Hannah Arendt

"On Violence"

Generally speaking, violence always arises out of impotence. It is the hope of those who have no power.

Hannah Arendt
