“The poor starve. The rich ask, Why are you hungry? If you were just like me, you wouldn't be hungry. They have their portraits done. Let history remember the rich. Let their houses stand. The castles to visit. The videos of celebrities giving tours of their multimillion-dollar homes for Architectural Digest while wearing pins in honor of war-torn countries that are really to say, I would give none of this up for them. Wait. Wait. Wait to see which pale man has the most eager fingers. Who presses the button first? Who presses it next, in retaliation? Boom! Nuclear annihilation!”
― Rachel Harrison, Black Sheep

“I found it interesting that those who believed themselves righteous only ever cared about those who agreed with them, and were keen to let those who didn’t suffer whatever brutal fate. There seemed to me an inherent hypocrisy in faith itself.”
