Vicster

“In the long run, the oppressor is also a victim. In the short run (and so far, human history has consisted only of short runs), the victims, themselves desperate and tainted with the culture that oppresses them, turn on other victims.”
― Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States: 1492 - Present

“Any kind of holding too long or grasping too far forward in an effort to maintain a sense of security is deadly to our spiritual growth and the natural unfolding of our lives.”
― Deborah Adele, The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice
