James Baldwin
“People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state on innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”
James Baldwin

Howard Zinn
“In 1887, with a huge surplus in the treasury, Cleveland vetoed a bill appropriating $100,000 to give relief to Texas farmers to help them buy seed grain during a drought. He said: “Federal aid in such cases … encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character.” But that same year, Cleveland used his gold surplus to pay off wealthy bondholders at $28 above the $100 value of each bond—a gift of $45 million”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States

Niccolò Machiavelli
“…he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived.”
Machiavelli Niccolo, The Prince

V (formerly Eve Ensler)
“What is a man cast out of the kingdom of men?”
Eve Ensler, The Apology

Howard Zinn
“The United States government had signed more than four hundred treaties with Indians and violated every single one.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States
