Thomas King
“To be sure, they have had the occasional success, but there is little chance that North America will develop a functional land ethic until it finds a way to overcome its irrational addiction to profit.”
Thomas King, The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America

Marcus Aurelius
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Thomas King
“Nascent residential schools might prove to be the answer to the "Indian Problem," but educating and assimilating children would take one or two generations, and delayed gratification is not a North American trait.”
Thomas King, The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America

Thomas King
“While the hardware of civilization - iron pots, blankets, guns - was welcomed by Native people, the software of Protestantism and Catholicism - original sin, universal damnation, atonement, and subligation - was not, and Europeans were perplexed, offended, and incensed that Native peoples had the temerity to take their goods and return their gods.”
Thomas King, The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America

Thomas King
“Or, if you want the positive but somewhat callous view, you might wish to describe Christianity as the gateway drug to supply-side capitalism”
Thomas King, The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America
