“The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing; this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me.

― Oscar Wilde

― Richard Shaull, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”
