Leyna’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism—Understanding the Social Science of Cult Influence

Leyna’s Quotes

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
― Lyndon B. Johnson

“Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You can not describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.”
― James Baldwin
