“Not everyone is allowed a complex identity. Throughout history, individuals and entire communities have been systematically stripped of their personhood and idiosyncrasies, often to make them easier to demean, denigrate and subjugate - and in some cases, eradicate. Being able to define yourself openly and fully is a privilege; it is a grace many take for granted.”

“I hated the idea of going back to that factory. I hated the idea of having a routine life, of having to get up at seven Α.Μ. to get to school, of having knowledge from books crowded into my head. I wanted to rebel. I wanted to change the world to be the way I wanted it. I wanted a law forbidding people to work longer than four hours a day at the most. People should be independent of restrictions. Restrictions of society, of laws. People should not be made to do things they did not like. I began to rebel.

I felt the important thing for people was to eat when they were hungry, not because it was breakfast time, lunchtime, dinnertime or suppertime. One should work when he needed to work to earn enough to feed and clothe a family properly, to have a home when he wanted to have it. To love because he loved, to hate because he hated, not because someone told him to, when, where, and how.

I hated the idea of having to be in a certain place at a certain time. I should go when I wanted. No one should be obligated to anyone.”
