“If Jesus Christ was sitting right here, right now, he’d say this very same dam thing. You just ask Jesus how the hell come a couple of thousand of us living out here in this jungle camp like a bunch of wild animals. You just ask Jesus how many million of other folks are living the same way? Sharecroppers down South, big city people that work in factories and live like rats in the slimy slums. You know what Jesus’ll say back to you? He’ll tell you we all just mortally got to work together, build things together, fix up old things together, clean out old filth together, put up new buildings, schools and churches, banks and factories together, and own everything together. Sure, they’ll call it a bad ism. Jesus don’t care if you call it socialism or communism, or just me and you.”
― Woody Guthrie, Bound for Glory

“To be clear, concluding in brief: there is enough for all. So there should be no more people living in poverty. And there should be no more billionaires. Enough should be a human right, a floor below which no one can fall; also a ceiling above which no one can rise. Enough is as good as a feast—or better.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future

“For a time he watched the Captain's unconscious face, reading it with great tenderness and utmost attention, like a mother with an infant.
His words said, Why must we love where the lightning strikes, and not where we choose?
And they said, But I'm glad it's you, little prince. I'm glad it's you.
He put out his huge hand and, with a feather touch, stroked the sleeping lips.”
― Theodore Sturgeon, E Pluribus Unicorn

“And let the days go by, and let the time pass, and huddle beneath your impenetrable integument, and wait, and wait, and every once in a long while you will have that moment of lonely consciousness when there is no one around to see; and then it may burst from you and you may dance, or cry, or twist the hair on your head till your eyeballs blaze, or do any of the other things your so unfashionable nature thirstily demands.”
― Theodore Sturgeon, E Pluribus Unicorn
