Omar El Akkad
“A world that shrugs at one kind of slaughter has developed a terrible immunity. No atrocity is too great to shrug away now, the muscles of indifference having been sufficiently conditioned.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

John  Green
“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Omar El Akkad
“A political system that won’t restrict firearms even after a shooter massacres classrooms full of children, a system that shrugs when a regime murders and dismembers a journalist because that regime controls an inordinate amount of oil, a system that won’t flinch at the images of starving babies when it has the power to save their lives—what manner of resistance can’t such a system learn to abide? What use is any of it, what use?”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

George R. Stewart
“Men go and come, but earth abides.”
George R. Stewart, Earth Abides

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
