Nathaniel Ian Miller
“From the time I'd been a precocious, skeptical child, the idea of simply winking out like a light, or a star, was more than enough to nearly paralyze me with existential misery. I knew I would cease to be, and yet I could not comfortably imagine a world without me in it. It's a form of narcissism, sure, but how do we live from one day to the next without convincing ourselves of our own fallacious importance?”
Nathaniel Ian Miller, The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven

Sam Quinones
“So, in a sense, capitalism is a monopoly. Without competition, capitalism has bent towards the agglomeration of profit and power in the hands of relatively few families, corporations, industries and governments. The coercion of twentieth century dictatorships as methods of individual persuasion and control has been replaced by marketing, far more benign and effective. Meanwhile vasts rafts of people--entire regions even--sit becalmed in seas of poverty and resentment”
Sam Quinones, The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth

“We live in a time when drug traffickers behave like multinational corporations and corporations behave like traffickers.”
Sam Quinones, The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth

Nathaniel Ian Miller
“So you must make the best choices you can, knowing they may lead you astray, but proceeding boldly lest your life become one long monotonous drift between death and your last interesting choice.”
Nathaniel Ian Miller, The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven

Sam Quinones
“Left unchecked, the brain's reward system for moral indignation leads to the Spanish Inquisition, to witch trials--and to what goes on daily on Facebook and Twitter. Outrage keeps us engaged better than almost anything. This engagement allows social media apps to sell more ads, fueling their bottom line. IN priming our natural outrage, an impulse that evolved to keep us alive, social media apps have us tearing each other apart. Like dope dealers--just peddling outrage.”
Sam Quinones, The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth
