Philip Kerr
“But nothing surprises me now. I’ve grown used to living in a world that is out of joint, as if it has been struck by an enormous earthquake so that the roads are no longer flat, nor the building straight.”
― Philip Kerr, March Violets

Vijay Prashad
“The annual budget is a much better reflection of a country's morality than its constitution. You put more money into repression, police, military... and so little to taking care of human troubles”
― Vijay Prashad

W.E.B. Du Bois
“The price of repression is greater than the cost of liberty. The degradation of men costs something both to the degraded and those who degrade.”
― W.E.B. Du Bois, John Brown

Socrates
“Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.”
― Socrates

Mitchell Waldman
“Sidney Hellman doesn't remember who he was the last time around, if there was a last time. But how can he? None of us do.

Still, there are clues.

For instance, he starts seeing things. Images of events from another life. Terrible images."

--From the story "The Monster Inside," included in BROTHERS, FATHERS, AND OTHER STRANGERS, the new story collection by Mitchell Waldman”
― Mitchell Waldman
