"The light itself is yellow, rich as liquid butter,
filtered as it is through foliage and fronds eighty meters
above the brown surface of the Kans. | sit on the rusted tin
roof of the center passenger barge and strain to make out
my first glimpse of a tesla tree"

"Conatus als poging.
Niet als horme zoals cicero Grieks name Latijns vertaald.
Niet oikeiosis (grieks, constitutief zelf regulerend, stoa in grieks) naar orexis (appetijt, Latijns. Cicero)"

Upton Sinclair
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Upton Sinclair, I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked

Paulo Freire
“The multitude is always in the wrong.”
Paulo Freire

Marcus Aurelius
“Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Marcus Aurelius
“Here is a rule to remember in future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not "This is misfortune," but "To bear this worthily is good fortune.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Paulo Freire
“The more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can transform it. This individual is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled. This person is not afraid to meet the people or to enter into a dialogue with them. This person does not consider himself or herself the proprietor of history or of all people, or the liberator of the oppressed; but he or she does commit himself or herself, within history, to fight at their side.”
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
