Omar El Akkad
“It is a hallmark of failing societies, I’ve learned, this requirement that one always be in possession of a valid reason to exist.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Omar El Akkad
“One day the killing will be over, either because the oppressed will have their liberation or because there will be so few left to kill. We will be expected to forget any of it ever happened, to acknowledge it if need be but only in harmless, perfunctory ways. Many of us will, if only as a kind of psychological self-defense. So much lives and dies by the grace of endless forgetting.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Charles Darwin
“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

Omar El Akkad
“Once far enough removed, everyone will be properly aghast that any of this was allowed to happen. But for now, it’s just so much safer to look away, to keep one’s head down, periodically checking on the balance of polite society to see if it is not too troublesome yet to state what to the conscience was never unclear.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Omar El Akkad
“Anything to avoid contending with the possibility that all this killing wasn’t the result of a system abused, but a system functioning exactly as intended.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
