John  Williams
“When he had thought of death before, he had thought of it either as a literary event or as the slow, quiet attrition of time against imperfect flesh.”
John Williams, Stoner

Alan             Moore
“Equality and freedom are not luxuries to lightly cast aside. Without them, order cannot long endure before approaching depths beyond imagining.”
Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

Ruth Goodman
“The domestic past charts how we have changed the world before. The domestic present has the power to change it right now.”
Ruth Goodman, The Domestic Revolution

Alan             Moore
“Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade.”
Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

Ruth Goodman
“The domestic matters. It is the base unit upon which all else is built. The history of the domestic is the history of everything: how ordinary people choose to lead their lives dictates the future of mankind. Politicians come and go, ideologies wax and wane, but the practical details of how you warm your house or do your washing-up will, added up with the actions of your neighbours and their neighbours, reach into the longer term. Your heating and washing-up habits don't simply use a few resources or add a touch of pollution. Nor do they merely favour some industries over others. They also create a mindset that will touch future generations and shape their decisions.”
Ruth Goodman, The Domestic Revolution
