“I have often thought that many of our people turned to Communism not so much in revolt against the existing political system, but out of sheer despair over human nature which showed itself at its very worst after the war. Since it is impossible for men to give up on making, the blame the social order in which they live; they condemn the human condition.”

“people who lined up to see the mona lisa typically couldn’t name the paintings hanging nearby, and there was nothing wrong with that” lmao i love parisa

“When society questions a victim’s reluctance to report, I will be here to remind you that you ask us to sacrifice our sanity to fight outdated structures that were designed to keep us down.”
