“Quando nos faltam forças para agir, é preciso encontrar palavras que nos inspirem. Por isso, lembre-se de um ponto fundamental: nada de deixar sua confiança arrefecer. O poder está nas suas mãos. Juntos, como comunidade ou como movimento, podemos fazer milagres. E faremos.”
― Nadya Tolokonnikova, Um guia Pussy Riot para o ativismo

“What was in fact blown up on the 8th of November 2016 was the social contract, the paradigm that says you can live comfortably without getting your hands dirty with politics. The belief that it only takes your one vote every four years (or no vote at all: you’re above politics) to have your freedoms protected. This belief was torn to pieces. The belief that institutions are here to protect us and take care of us, and we don’t need to bother ourselves with protecting these institutions from being eroded by corruption, lobbyists, monopolies, corporate and government control over our personal data.”
