Georges Bataille
“Nothing is more necessary or stronger in us than rebellion.”
Georges Bataille, The Unfinished System of Nonknowledge

“To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.”
Pearl S. Buck

Richard J. Foster
“We really must understand that the lust for affluence in contemporary society is psychotic. It is psychotic because it has completely lost touch with reality.

Arundhati Roy, Public Power in the Age of Empire
