“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
― Lyndon B. Johnson

“It is the alienated insight into the actual objectification of man and into the actual appropriation of his objective nature by the destruction of the alienated character of the objective world, by the transcendence of the objective world in its alienated existence, just as atheism which transcends God is the emergence of theoretical humanism, and communism which transcends private property is the vindication of actual human life as man's property, the emergence of practical humanism. Or, atheism is humanism mediated through itself by the transcendence of religion, and communism is humanism mediated through itself by the transcendence of private property. Only through the transcendence of this mediation--which is, however, a necessary presupposition--emerges positive humanism, humanism emerging positively from itself.”
― Karl Marx, Selected Writings

“It is not a question of finding an answer to the night of truth, but of sitting up with one another through the night... of dividing the abyss in half, in a companionship that is its own meaning.”
― John D. Caputo, Against Ethics: Contributions to a Poetics of Obligation with Constant Reference to Deconstruction
