“In the wake of divine violence...the commandment [to not kill] 'exists not as a criterion of judgement, but as a guideline for the actions of the persons or communities who have to wrestle it in solitude and, in monstrous cases, to take on themselves the responsibility to abstain from it'. Divine violence offers not legitimation but renewed occasions for responsibility. It breaks the binding obligations of an order that lets a person evade responsibility by saying, 'I am just following the law'- whether that law is rooted in the legal means of positive law or the just ends of natural law. Divine violence forces free action. It demands responsibility.”
Ted Smith, Weird John Brown: Divine Violence and the Limits of Ethics

“Utopian desires all too quickly become just another tempting commodity.”
Cindy Milstein, Paths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism

Arundhati Roy
“Funding as fragmented solidarity in ways that repression never could.”
Arundhati Roy, Capitalism: A Ghost Story

Max Weber
“All revolutions are declared to be natural and inevitable, once they are successful, and capitalism, as the type of economic system prevailing in Western Europe and America, is clothed today with the unquestioned respectability of the triumphant fact. [from foreword]”
Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

David Levithan
“We say: Anything is possible. But, what we mean is: I hope good is possible.”
David Levithan, Wide Awake
