Naomi Klein
“What industry calls innovation, in other words, looks more like the final suicidal throes of addiction. We are blasting the bedrock of our continents, pumping our water with toxins, lopping off mountaintops, scraping off boreal forests, endangering the deep ocean, and scrambling to exploit the melting Arctic—all to get at the last drops and the final rocks. Yes, some very advanced technology is making this possible, but it’s not innovation, it’s madness.”
Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate

Amelie Murmann
“»Wovor hast du am meisten Angst?«
Ich überlegte eine Weile, während er mich nicht aus den Augen ließ. »Vor dem Leben«, entschied ich schließlich. »Davor, dass es vorbei ist, bevor ich überhaupt richtig gelebt habe. Davor, dass ich alles verpasse, weil ich mit meinen Gedanken woanders bin. Davor, dass das Beste im Leben an mir vorbeizieht, weil ich die Chance es zu bekommen nicht ergriffen habe.«”
Amelie Murmann, Liebe kennt keinen Plan

Trevor Noah
“Abel wanted a traditional marriage with a traditional wife. For a long time I wondered why he ever married a woman like my mom in the first place, as she was the opposite of that in every way. If he wanted a woman to bow to him, there were plenty of girls back in Tzaneen being raised solely for that purpose. The way my mother always explained it, the traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He’s attracted to independent women. “He’s like an exotic bird collector,” she said. “He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“Cakes are healthy too, you just eat a small slice.”

Trevor Noah
“The name Hitler does not offend a black South African because Hitler is not the worst thing a black South African can imagine. Every country thinks their history is the most important, and that’s especially true in the West. But if black South Africans could go back in time and kill one person, Cecil Rhodes would come up before Hitler. If people in the Congo could go back in time and kill one person, Belgium’s King Leopold would come way before Hitler. If Native Americans could go back in time and kill one person, it would probably be Christopher Columbus or Andrew Jackson. I”
