George Orwell
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Arun D. Ellis
“A revolutionary war of freedom, he said” Hiawatha responded crisply, “and I agree… does Superman ever fly to Thailand and free the kids slaving in the sweat shops owned by the rich corporations? No, he doesn’t. Does Batman ever break into prison and free the wrongfully convicted and over sentenced black man whose rights were trampled on when he was incarcerated? No, he doesn’t. Does Spider man ever break into a house in suburbia and beat up the abusive and violent husband? No, he doesn’t.”

“Do the Fantastic Four ever fly out to third world countries and defend the rights of the poor civilians against greedy American corporations? No, they don’t,” said the Pirate, not to be outdone.

“They’re all just tools used by the state to maintain the status quo,” said Hiawatha.”
― Arun D. Ellis, Corpalism

Jane Austen
“Angry people are not always wise.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Oscar Wilde
“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”
― Oscar Wilde, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories

Leo Tolstoy
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
― Leo Tolstoy
