And in such as world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners.”
― Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States: 1492 - Present

“बहुतों ने पवित्र, निराकार, अभौतिक, प्लेटोनिक प्रेम की बड़ी-बड़ी महिमा गाई है और समझाने की कोशिश की है कि स्त्री-पुरुष का प्रेम सात्विक तल पर ही सीमित रह सकता है। लेकिन यह व्याख्या आत्म-सम्मोहन और परवंचना से अधिक महत्व नहीं रखती। यदि कोई यह कहे कि ऋण और धन विद्युत- तरंग मिलकर प्रज्वलित नहीं होंगे, तो यह मानने की बात है।”
