“I think we are, or we can be. But toxic systems compromise good individuals with ease. They do so not by demanding we betray our values but by enlisting our values such that we betray each other. What is rational and even moral for us to do individually becomes destructive when done collectively.”

Ezra Klein, Why We're Polarized

“The only difference between lying and acting was whether your audience was in on it, but it was all a performance just the same.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half
