“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
― Ursala K. Le Guin

“Philosophers have only interpreted the world; the point is to change it.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto and Other Writings

“There is scarcely any passion without struggle.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus, and Other Essays

“Capitalist market economies are "composed of a collection of unequal individuals who compete for greater shares of money as the medium of exchange ... this model of community legitimates relations of domination either by denying they exist or treating them as inevitable."

(summarizing Hartsock 1983b, p70)”
― Patricia Hill Collins, Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment
