Jean Vanier
We can be seduced...by powerful political groups that promise more wealth and lower taxes. Those with power can use clever, psychological tricks and play upon our weaknesses and brokenness in order to attract us to their way of thinking. We can be manipulated into illusion.
Jean Vanier, Finding Peace

Ramsay Burt, The Male Dancer: Bodies, Spectacle and Sexuality
