Damon Galgut
“The idea that writers write books that have absolutely nothing to do with their personalities or lives, I think, is false. Your raw material is yourself. There is nothing else to draw on.”
Damon Galgut

Edward O. Wilson
“The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.”
Edward O. Wilson

Antonio Gramsci
“The history of education shows that every class which has sought to take power has prepared itself for power by an autonomous education. The first step in emancipating oneself from political and social slavery is that of freeing the mind. I put forward this new idea: popular schooling should be placed under the control of the great workers’ unions. The problem of education is the most important class problem.”
Antonio Gramsci

Will  Smith
“And I felt like life was just waiting for me to make up the story.”
Will Smith, Will

Yanis Varoufakis
“All systems of domination work by enveloping us in their narrative and superstitions in such a way that we cannot see beyond them. Taking a step or two back, finding a way to inspect them from the outside, allows us a glimpse of how imperfect, how ludicrous, they are. Securing this glimpse keeps you in touch with reality.”
Yanis Varoufakis, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: or, How Capitalism Works—and How It Fails
