“How do you cause people to believe in an imagined order such as Christianity, democracy or capitalism? First, you never admit that the order is imagined.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“The way things are?

Two years ago women couldn’t vote. Ma Etta was a slave when she was a girl.

Don’t you EVER talk to me about the way things are, unless you’re willing to talk to me about how things can be.”
― David F. Walker, Bitter Root, Vol. 2: Rage & Redemption
