Malcolm X
“All praise is due to Allah that I went to Boston when I did.
If I hadn't, I'd probably still be a brainwashed black Christian.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

William S. Burroughs
“You know who they are in America, 20 years minimum for possession of marihuana, decent church-going nigger-killing crackers, and don’t forget the womenfolk is worse than the men. Decency leagues, anti-obscenity drives, they poison the air we breathe. You know who they are. John Birch billionaires, newspaper owners, finking cab drivers and hotel clerks, narks and ghetto landlords, acid-throwing Mafia wops, any bastard connected with MRA, all the servants and guard dogs and company cops of the rich.
We intend a total solution to the shit problem. They claim their shit world is the way things are and force it on the rest of us with police terror. Slaughter these shits and the face of the world will smile. And what will we do with all the dead shits? Grind them up and process them into high protein hog feed, and grind their bones into bonemeal for our fields andlawns and gardens. They comprise between 10 and 20 percent of the world population, though in heavily infected areas like South Africa it may run much higher. About the only good Boer is a processed one, feeding our happy hogs.”
William S. Burroughs, The Revised Boy Scout Manual: excerpt

Jean Baudrillard
“The "hard law of value," the "law set in stone" - when it abandons us, what sadness, what panic! This is why there are still good days left to fascist and authoritarian methods, because they revive something of the violence necessary to life - whether suffered or inflicted. The violence of ritual, the violence of work, the violence of knowledge, the violence of blood, the violence of power and of the political is good! It is clear, luminous, the relations of force, contradictions, exploitation, repression! This is lacking today, and the need for it makes itself felt.”
Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation

Ian Hacking
“Historical ontology is about the ways in which the possibilities for choice, and for being, arise in history. It is not to be practiced in terms of grand abstractions, but in terms of the explicit formations in which we can constitute ourselves, formations whose trajectories can be plotted as dearly as those of trauma or child development, or, at one remove, that can be traced more obscurely by larger organizing concepts such as objectivity or even facts themselves. Historical ontology is not so much about the formation of character as about the space of possibilities for character formation that surround a person, and create the potentials for "individual experience".”
Ian Hacking, Historical Ontology

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“I am now doing philosophy like an old woman, who keeps on mislaying something and then has to look for it again - sometimes her glasses, sometimes her key-chain”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, On Certainty
