Hélène Cixous
“Love is when you suddenly wake up as a cannibal, and not just any old cannibal, or else wake up destined for devourment.”
Hélène Cixous, Stigmata: Escaping Texts

Derrick Jensen
“One of the fables we live by is that some day the killing will stop. If only we rid ourselves of Chinese, white men will have jobs and white women will have virtue, and then we can stop killing. If only we rid ourselves of Indians, we will fulfill our Manifest Destiny, and then we can stop killing. If only we rid ourselves of Canaanites, we will live in the Promised Land, and then we can stop killing. If only we rid ourselves of Jews, we can build and maintain a Thousand Year Reich, and then we can stop killing. If only we stop the Soviet Union, we can stop the killing (remember the Peace Dividend that never materialized?). If only we can take out the worldwide terrorist network of bin Laden and others like him. If only. But the killing never stops. Always a new enemy to be hated is found.”
Derrick Jensen, The Culture of Make Believe

Miles Davis
“It’s like, how did Columbus discover America when the Indians were already here? What kind of shit is that, but white people’s shit?”
Miles Davis, Miles: The Autobiography

Miles Davis
“I'm a fiend when it comes to good pastry, and the French make the best as far as I'm concerned.”
Miles Davis, Miles: The Autobiography

Henry Miller
“The world is a cancer eating itself away... I am think that when the great silence descends upon all and everywhere music will at last triumph. When into the womb of time everything is again withdrawn chaos will be restored and chaos is the score upon which reality is written.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer
