Slavoj Žižek
“Jean-Paul Sartre wrote that if you are attacked for the same text by both sides in a political conflict, this is one of the few reliable signs that you are on the right path.”
Slavoj Žižek, Heaven in Disorder

Walter Benjamin
“Behind every fascism there is a failed revolution.”
Walter Benjamin

Nelson Mandela
“One of the mistakes which some political analysts make is to think that their enemies should be our enemies.”
Nelson Mandela

Kate Bornstein
“The standards of beauty in America's über-culture are purposefully set too high so that we will buy anything in our frantic scramble to become attractive. We are meant to feel crushed, inadequate, and less-than so that we'll buy more and more things in the vain hope of "fixing" ourselves.”
Kate Bornstein, Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks & Other Outlaws

Noam Chomsky
“The trick is not to be isolated―if you're isolated, like Winston Smith in 1984, then sooner or later you're going to break, as he finally broke. That was the point of Orwell's story. In fact, the whole tradition of popular control has been exactly that: to keep people isolated, because if you can keep them isolated enough, you can get them to believe anything. But when people get together, all sorts of things are possible.”
Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky
