“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.”
― Gustavo Petro

“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms

“ان القراءة بالنسبة لي نوع رخيص من المخدرات ، لا افعل بها شيئا سوى الغياب عن الوعي
فيما مضى تصور هذا ، كانوا يقرءون من اجل اكتساب الوعي !!”
― احمد خالد توفيق

“In fact, the subversive intellectual enjoys the ride and wants it to be faster and wilder; she does not want a room of his or her own, she wants to be in the world, in the world with others and making the world anew.”
― Fred Moten, the undercommons: fugitive planning & black study
