Status Updates From Els desposseïts

I liked the quote “All you have to do to see life whole is to see it as mortal. I’ll die, you’ll die; how could we love each other otherwise? The sun’s going to burn out, what else keeps it shining?” 🥲

“To make a thief, make an owner; to create a crime, create laws.”

“They don’t believe in it anymore. They think if people can possess enough things they will be content to live in prison.”

“Not a relationship of mutual aid in solidarity, an exploitative relationship; not organic, but mechanical. Can true function arise from basic dysfunction?”

The only consistency is inconsistency 🙃

“If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.” (334)

I love this book.
