Thucydides
“I blame not those who wish to rule, but those who are willing to serve. The same human nature which is always ready to domineer over the subservient, bids us defend ourselves against the aggressor.”
Thucydides, The Complete Works of Thucydides

Cho Nam-Joo
“This was a time when the government had implemented birth control policies called “family planning” to keep population growth under control. Abortion due to medical problems had been legal for ten years at that point, and checking the sex of the fetus and aborting females was common practice, as if “daughter” was a medical problem.”
Cho Nam-Joo, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

Miyamoto Musashi
“Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is. And you must bend to its power or live a lie.”
Miyamoto Musashi

Le Corbusier
“Truth to tell, the modern man is bored to tears in his home; so he goes to his club. The modern woman is bored outside her boudoir; she goes to tea-parties. The modern man and woman are bored at home; they go to night-clubs.
But lesser folk who have no clubs gather together in the evening under the chandelier and hardly dare to walk through the labyrinth of their furniture which takes up the whole room and is all their fortune and their pride.”
Le Corbusier, Towards a New Architecture

Mikhail Bakunin
“To my utter despair I have discovered, and discover every day anew, that there is in the masses no revolutionary idea or hope or passion.”
Mikhail Bakunin
