“But you can't put a corporation in jail; you just take their money, and it's not really their money anyway.”
Beth Macy, Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

Beth Macy
“The term “hipster,” in fact, drew from the Chinese opium smoker of the 1800s, who’d spent much of his time smoking while reclining on one hip. The hipster counterculture took inspiration from heroin-addicted jazz greats like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.”
Beth Macy, Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

“When children attend schools that place a greater value in discipline and security than on knowledge and intellectual development, they are attending prep schools for prisons.”
Angela Davis

James Baldwin
“Since we live in an age in which silence is not only criminal but suicidal, I have been making as much noise as I can, here in Europe, on radio and television—in fact, have just returned from a land, Germany, which was made notorious by a silent majority not so very long ago.”
James Baldwin

Erich Fromm
“That human nature and society can have conflicting demands, and hence that a whole society can be sick, is an assumption which was made very explicitly by Freud, most extensively in his Civilization and Its Discontent.”
Erich Fromm, The Sane Society
