Malcolm X
“I’ve had enough of someone else’s propaganda… I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Tove Jansson
“Too-ticky shrugged her shoulders. 'One has to discover everything for oneself,' she replied. 'And get over it all alone.”
Tove Jansson, Moominland Midwinter

Leonard Mlodinow
“Our brains are not simply recording a taste or other experience, they are creating it.”
Leonard Mlodinow, Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

Ernest Hemingway
“Robert Jordan, wiping out the stew bowl with bread, explained how the income tax and inheritance tax worked. 'But the big estates remain. Also, there are taxes on the land,' he said.

'But surely the big proprietors and the rich will make a revolution against such taxes. Such taxes appear to me to be revolutionary. They will revolt against the government when they see that they are threatened, exactly as the fascists have done here,' Primitivo said.

'It is possible.'

'Then you will have to fight in your country as we fight here.'

'Yes, we will have to fight.'

'But are there not many fascists in your country?'

'There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.”
Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

Octavia E. Butler
“Sometimes I wrote things because I couldn't say them, couldn't sort out my feelings about them, couldn't keep them bottled inside me.”
Octavia E. Butler, Kindred
