Vincent Bevins
“If you cannot carry out a revolution and are not in a position to negotiate reforms, then perhaps it is acceptable to do nothing at all. Better yet, to organize, analyze, and strategize—to put yourself in the best position for the next opportunity.”
Vincent Bevins, If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution

James Baldwin
“We had our arms round each other. It was like holding in my hand some rare, exhausted, nearly doomed bird which I had miraculously happened to find.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
tags: gay

N.K. Jemisin
“When the reasoning mind is forced to confront the impossible again and again, it has no choice but to adapt.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season

Eoin Colfer
“Artemis said, "I don't like lollipops." It was a woefully inadequate response, and Artemis was instantly appalled with himself. Pathetic really. I don't like lollipops. No self respecting criminal mastermind would be caught dead using the word lollipops. He really would have to put together a database of witty responses for occasions such a this.”
Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl
tags: humor

Vincent Bevins
“You can get yourself all fucked up on revolutionary élan, just like you can drink alcohol or take drugs. But it warps your senses and causes you to make poor decisions. It isn’t real, and you’re going to pay for it later. If you want the feeling of mass ecstasy you should go to a music festival instead of encouraging vulnerable young people to go out and get killed.”
Vincent Bevins, If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution
