"Alexander McGillivray could teach Mr. "Art of the Deal" a thing or two. Presenting himself as the sole leader of the Creek people, he played the countries who courted him off one another, winning many privately enriching concessions along the way, while frustrating natives and colonialists alike. Still, he managed to protect Creek lands & culture for another generation, a solace not afforded other Indian nations." Mar 07, 2019 10:38PM

Charles Bukowski
“Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Back, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.”
Charles Bukowski, Women

Bryan Stevenson
“My work with the poor and the incarcerated has persuaded me that the opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption

Sylvia Plath
“If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Simone de Beauvoir
“One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others.”
Simone de Beauvoir

Susie Bright
“Behind every erotic condemnation there's a burning hypocrite.”
Susie Bright
