David Graeber
“The ruling class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger (think of what started to happen when this even began to be approximated in the 60s).”
― David Graeber

Allen Ginsberg
“You know, the guys there were so beautiful—they've lost that wounded look that fags all had 10 years ago.”
― Allen Ginsberg
