""We know 'know' what the master class certainly knew but for so long publicly denied only to be confronted with the truth in its nightmares, its sexual fantasies, and rotting social consciousness: the enslaved were human beings... slavery altered the conditions of their being, but it could not negate their being" (pg 125)." — Nov 04, 2025 05:12AM

“It spins.
The world changes.
It turns. Each time it touches the sun and the moon…
it takes a new shape.
The one thing that does not change…
…is my powerlessness.
It’s turning.
If fate is a millstone…
…then we are the grist.
There is nothing we can do.
So I wish for strength.
If I cannot protect them from the wheel…
…then give me a strong blade…
…and enough strength…
…to shatter fate.”
― Bleach, Volume 23

“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

“For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.”
