"not sure if i'll be finishing this one. the writing style and meandering backstory feels like all the worst bits of a donna tarte novel." Feb 28, 2018 12:53PM

"honestly i’m dropping this one. not because it’s bad but for the same reason i still haven’t finished the first season of the handmaid’s tale: because i’m just sick to death of dystopian fiction. it’s suffocating. i’m still getting over future home of the living god’s downer ending, and i want to live by mama ursula’s ideas of reading, writing and promoting more hopeful futures."

Ha-Joon Chang
“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”
Ha-Joon Chang, Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism

Karl Marx
“The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.”
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Joanne Greenberg
“Measure the hate you feel now, and the shame. That quantity is your capacity also to love and to feel joy and to have compassion.”
Joanne Greenberg, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

Pyotr Kropotkin
“Why has woman's work never been of any account? Why in every family are the mother and three or four servants obliged to spend so much time at what pertains to cooking? Because those who want to emancipate mankind have not included woman in their dream of emancipation, and consider it beneath their superior masculine dignity to think "of those kitchen arrangements," which they have put on the shoulders of that drudge—woman.”
Pyotr Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread

Ursula K. Le Guin
“We have nothing but our freedom. We have nothing to give you but your own freedom. We have no law but the single principle of mutual aid between individuals. We have no government but the single principle of free association. We have no states, no nations, no presidents, no premiers, no chiefs, no generals, no bosses, no bankers, no landlords, no wages, no charity, no police, no soldiers, no wars. Nor do we have much else. We are sharers, not owners. We are not prosperous. None of us is rich. None of us is powerful. If it is Anarres you want, if it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it with empty hands. You must come to it alone, and naked, as the child comes into the world, into his future, without any past, without any property, wholly dependent on other people for his life. You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself. You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
