Mikhail Bakhtin
“In the whole of the world and of the people there is no room for fear. For fear can only enter a part that has been separates from the whole, the dying link torn from the link that is born. The whole of the people and if the world is triumphantly gay and fearless. This whole speaks in all carnival images...”
Mikhail Bakhtin, Rabelais and His World

Mikhail Bakhtin
“Non seulement les lettres pures, mais aussi les utopies de la Renaissance, sa conception même du monde étaient profondément imprégnées de la perception du monde carnavalesque et en revêtaient souvent les formes et les symboles.”
Mikhail Bakhtin, Rabelais and His World

Dashiell Hammett
“My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery.”
Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon

James Baldwin
“The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Victor Serge
“Early on, I learnt from the Russian intelligentsia that the only meaning of life lies in conscious participation in the making of history. The more I think of that, the more deeply true it seems to be. It follows that one must range oneself actively against everything that diminishes man, and involve oneself in all struggles which tend to liberate and enlarge him. This categorical imperative is by no way lessened by the fact that such an involvement is inevitably soiled by error: it is a worse error merely to live for oneself, caught within traditions which are soiled by inhumanity.”
Victor Serge, Memoirs of a Revolutionary
