George Orwell
“A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims... but accomplices”
George Orwell

A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.
“A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.”
Osho, The Book of Secrets

“We live in a time that demands a discourse of both critique and possibility, one that recognizes that without an informed citizenry, collective struggle, and viable social movements, democracy will slip out of our reach and we will arrive at a new stage of history marked by the birth of an authoritarianism that not only disdains all vestiges of democracy but is more than willing to relegate it to a distant memory.”
Henry A. Giroux, Zombie Politics and Culture in the Age of Casino Capitalism

William S. Burroughs
“Political conflicts are merely surface manifestations. If conflicts arise you may be sure that certain powers intend to keep this conflict under operation since they hope to profit from the situation. To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth. Just as the bullfighter teaches the bull, teaches him to follow, obey the cloth.”
William S. Burroughs

Friedrich Nietzsche
“. . . there is no being behind doing, effecting, becoming; "the doer" is merely a fiction added to the deed—the deed is everything.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals
