“livid, adj.

Fuck You for cheating on me. Fuck you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating, anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he’d gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Fuck you. This isn’t about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.”

“الحب هو ذكاء المسافة. ألّا تقترب كثيراً فتُلغي اللهفة، ولا تبتعد طويلًا فتُنسى. ألّا تضع حطبك دفعةً واحدةً في موقد من تُحب. أن تُبقيه مشتعلًا بتحريكك الحطب ليس أكثر، دون أن يلمح الآخر يدك المحرّكة لمشاعره ومسار قدره.”
― أحلام مستغانمي, الأسود يليق بك

― Frantz Fanon, Concerning Violence

“The so-called paradox of freedom is the argument that freedom in the sense of absence of any constraining control must lead to very great restraint, since it makes the bully free to enslave the meek. The idea is, in a slightly different form, and with very different tendency, clearly expressed in Plato.

Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.”
― Karl Raimund Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies

“بعض أسباب رسوخ و حصانة السلبية تعود إلى ارتكازها على مفاهيم تنسب زورا و ظلما إلى الدين أو إلى نصوص دينية مجتزأة من سياقها أو إلى مواقف لعلماء دين كانت مجرد ردود أفعال في سياقها التاريخي و هكذا فإن ذلك كله يتداخل مع أمثال شعبية و أقوال مأثورة و أنماط سلوك شائعة قديمة تجعل كل ما سبق يمتلك حصانة و قداسة لا مبرر لها دينيا بل و كل ما في الإسلام هو ضد هذه السلبية .”
