“The girl flinched, even lying down. Mary continued through gritted teeth. “Murder can’t be walked away from. Just like you can’t walk away from Viktor. He’ll find you if you run. Richard can’t protect you if Viktor believes you have his babies.”
― Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds

“I can’t disgrace the great woman buried somewhere beneath the drugs, the naked outbursts on stage, behind the tongue-wagging, rebellious teen artist... to the tormented woman performer.
There is a human being inside. And even with her vices, I’m pretty sure she has a great story she’s been dying to whisper. A girl screaming for everyone to look beyond the magazine covers and tabloid stories.
A story I want to listen to—all night.”
― Yarro Rai, Beyond Passion and Dreams

“In a popular state the inhabitants are divided into certain classes,” Montesquieu affirmed in a Marxian manner a century before Marx! So, the popular state is a fiction; it is transient, fleeting, and for this reason — imaginable only. In its rigorous scientific sense of a class instrument, it is practically an empty matter sophism, a complete commonplaceness, an offspring of mental weakness. There is no such state! If it is a state, it is not popular! If it is popular, it is not a state yet! The State is a violent institution for social injustice generated by two main classes, which are main ones because they are at enmity… Any people closed in a state, are divided into classes. “For indeed any city, however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich.”(Plato, The Republic).  Not Marx, still Plato said the truth!”
