“A society of free people will always have crime, violence and social disruption. It will never be completely safe. The alternative is a police state. A police state can give you safe streets, but only at the price of your human spirit.”
― Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

“An empty stomach knows no morality.”
― Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, What Is Property?

“There is so much you don't see. You walk around in a world with holes in it; you stumble into them; and get hurt.”
― Samuel R. Delany, Dhalgren

“The death of a social machine has never been heralded by a disharmony or a dysfunction; on the contrary, social machines make a habit of feeding on the contradictions they give rise to, on the crises they provoke, on the anxieties they engender, and on the infernal operations they regenerate. Capitalism has learned this, and has ceased doubting itself, while even socialists have abandoned belief in the possibility of capitalism's natural death by attrition. No one has ever died from contradictions. And the more it breaks down, the more it schizophrenizes, the better it works, the American way.”
― Gilles Deleuze, Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
