Collaborators Quotes

“I loved when he was available to me like this, when our relationship was like a Word document which we were writing and editing together, or a long private joke which nobody else could understand. I liked to feel that he was my collaborator. I liked to think of him waking up at night and thinking of me.”
― Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“Collaborators let down their guards. Successful collaborators still carry a taser.”
― Ryan Lilly

“Hidden Halls by Stewart Stafford

Hail the dark prince,
An apostle of perfidy,
Great cull’s architect,
Lavish secret funding.

Wrong horse backed,
Crown shards buried,
Knights get sanctuary,
Sullied pasts shrouded.

Ultra kingdom subjects,
Bloody, unwashed hands,
Eliminating in full denial,
That the bacillus was them.

“Well it's not possible to win this kind of thing. This is a continuous striving that people have done for a long time. Of course, there is many individual battles that we win, but it is the nature of human beings that human beings lie and cheat and deceive and organized groups of people who do not lie and cheat and deceive find each other and get together... and because they have that temperament, are more efficient. Because they are not lying and cheating and deceiving each other. And that is an old, a very old struggle between opportunists and collaborators. And so I don't see that going away. I think we can make some significant advances and it is perhaps, it is the making of these advances and being involved in that struggle that is good for people. So the process is in part the end game. It's not just to get somewhere in the end, rather this process of people feeling that it is worthwhile to be involved in that sort of struggle, is in fact worthwhile for people.”
