Mikhail Bakunin
“But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge.”
Mikhail Bakunin

James Baldwin
“I wanted to say so many things. Yet when I opened my mouth, I made no sound. And yet - I do not know what I felt for Giovanni. I felt nothing for Giovanni, I felt terror and pity and a rising lust.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Hannah Arendt
“Persuasion is not possible without appeal to either experiences or desires, in other words to immediate political needs. Though it is futile to argue with ideologies—racism has survived libraries of refutations—an explanation maybe fruitful which meets the ideologies on their own ground, on the basis from which they have grown.”
Hannah Arendt

Kim Stanley Robinson
“Michel would ignore that, would soothe and soothe until it made her angry. He was not her therapist now but her lover, and if you couldn’t make your lover angry, then what kind of lover was he? She saw the awful bind that one was put in when one’s lover was also one’s therapist— how that objective eye and soothing voice could become the distancing device of a professional manner. A man doing his job— it was intolerable to be judged by such an eye, as if he were somehow above it all, and did not have any problems himself, any emotions that he could not control. That had to be disproved.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars

Joan Didion
“That was the year, my twenty-eighth, when I was discovering that not all of the promises would be kept, that some things are in fact irrevocable and that it had counted after all, every evasion and every procrastination, every mistake, every word, all of it.”
Joan Didion
