Ling  Ma
“What I didn’t say was: I know you too well. You live your life idealistically. You think it’s possible to opt out of the system. No regular income, no health insurance. You quit jobs on a dime. You think this is freedom but I still see the bare, painstakingly cheap way you live, the scrimping and saving, and that is not freedom either. You move in circumscribed circles. You move peripherally, on the margins of everything, pirating movies and eating dollar slices. I used to admire this about you, how fervently you clung to your beliefs—I called it integrity—but five years of watching you live this way has changed me. In this world, money is freedom. Opting out is not a real choice.”
Ling Ma, Severance

Haroutioun Bochnakian
“The minority (the considered one percent of the one percent of the one percent of the one percent of humanity…) that has “worked hard” its way to obscene riches and power depriving human beings of vital necessities like water and food is a part of us, not an alien enemy.

They are not the devil, nor satan.
Just men (like us)
Men who are taught what they know (like us)
What to think (like us)
Men who are lied to (like us)
Manipulated (like us)
Processed (like us)
Indoctrinated (…. ..)”
Haroutioun Bochnakian, The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity
