Book cover for Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992
I hate guns. But you know what? I don’t hate them anymore. If I’m threatened, my life is threatened, I’m not even going, going to hesitate. I pull that trigger if my life is threatened. It’s terrible for me to be angry— I hate to be angry— ...more

Benjamin Carter Hett
“Across Europe, fascism developed only in advanced democracies where the socialist left had become successful enough to frighten the middle classes. Fascism was in part a defensive reaction against the left by those who most feared it.”
Benjamin Carter Hett, The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic

Benjamin Carter Hett
“German Protestants had theological and political reasons to dislike the Weimar Republic. They were inclined to take a pessimistic view of human nature and felt that only an authoritarian state could have the strength to correct human sinfulness. Such a state was God’s instrument, which meant that subversion or revolution amounted to working against God.”
Benjamin Carter Hett, The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic

Tara Westover
“I had discerned the ways in which we had been sculpted by a tradition given to us by others, a tradition of which we were either willfully or accidentally ignorant. I had begun to understand that we had lent our voices to a discourse whose sole purpose was to dehumanize and brutalize others—because nurturing that discourse was easier, because retaining power always feels like the way forward.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Anna Deavere Smith
“I said, “Los Angeles burned but Los Angeles is but one city experiencing this kind of hopelessness and despair,” I said, “and we need a job program with stipends …” I said, “These young people really, ya know, are not in anybody’s statistics or data. They’ve been dropped off of everybody’s agenda. They live from grandmama to mama to girlfriend.” I said, “We now got young people who are twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two years old who have never worked a day of their lives.” I said, “These are the young people in our streets and they are angry and they are frustrated.”
Anna Deavere Smith, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992

Adam Roberts
“science fiction begins not with Gernsback, Wells, Verne or Shelley, but rather with the Protestant Reformation, when science as we now understand the term began to separate itself from magic as the idiom for fantastic voyages, utopias, future speculation and technological extrapolation.”
Adam Roberts, The History of Science Fiction
