Ralph  Webster
“Nothing about these times makes any sense. Nothing. Putting it to words only makes it sound too simple.”
Ralph Webster, A Smile in One Eye: a Tear in the Other

Upton Sinclair
“Fascism is capitalism plus murder.”
Upton Sinclair

Rainer Werner Fassbinder
“Women think in [Douglas] Sirk’s films. Something which has never struck me with other directors. None of them. Usually women are always reacting, doing what women are supposed to do, but in Sirk they think. It’s something that has to be seen. It’s great to see women think. It gives one hope. Honestly.”
Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Chris Hedges
“The split in America, rather than simply economic, is between those who embrace reason, who function in the real world of cause and effect, and those who, numbed by isolation and despair, now seek meaning in a mythical world of intuition, a world that is no longer reality-based, a world of magic.”
Chris Hedges, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

Albert Camus
“Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.”
Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942
