“The accelerating pace of zoonotic transmission of novel viruses into humans is attributable to anthropogenic epidemiologic factors. Only behavior modification or medical management of this future health burden will minimize the risks of future zoonoses for human populations.”
Michael G Cordingley, Viruses: Agents of Evolutionary Invention

“Capitalism is not designed to meet human need; it is designed to generate profit. This means not only robbing workers of our humanity and life, but also the soil, the air, the planet.”
Hadas Thier, A People's Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics

Lao Tzu
“He who stands on tiptoe
doesn't stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
doesn't go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself
can't know who he really is.
He who has power over others
can't empower himself.
He who clings to his work
will create nothing that endures.

If you want to accord with the Tao,
just do your job, then let go.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Bertolt Brecht
“Motto"

In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.”
Bertolt Brecht

Assata Shakur
“Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.”
Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography
