Omar El Akkad
“And it may seem now like it’s someone else’s children, but there’s no such thing as someone else’s children.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Omar El Akkad
“The system does not work for you, was never intended to work for you, but as an act of magnanimity on our part, you may choose the degree to which it works against you.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Edgar Allan Poe
“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Bonnie Burstow
“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.”
Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence

Omar El Akkad
“One day the killing will be over, either because the oppressed will have their liberation or because there will be so few left to kill. We will be expected to forget any of it ever happened, to acknowledge it if need be but only in harmless, perfunctory ways. Many of us will, if only as a kind of psychological self-defense. So much lives and dies by the grace of endless forgetting.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
