James Madison
“The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.”
James Madison

Agatha Christie
“I often wonder why the whole world is so prone to generalise. Generalisations are seldom if ever true and are usually utterly inaccurate.”
Agatha Christie, Murder at the Vicarage

Charles Bukowski
“when we were kids
laying around the lawn
on our
bellies

we often talked
about
how
we'd like to
die

and
we all
agreed on the
same
thing;

we'd all
like to die
fucking

(although
none of us
had
done any
fucking)

and now
that
we are hardly
kids
any longer

we think more
about
how
not to
die

and
although
we're
ready

most of
us
would
prefer to
do it
alone

under the
sheets

now
that

most of
us

have fucked
our lives
away.”
Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

Santosh Kalwar
“We are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.”
Santosh Kalwar, Quote Me Everyday

bell hooks
“Knowledge rooted in experience shapes what we value and as a consequence how we know what we know as well as how we use what we know.”
bell hooks, Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom
