“A lot of people get upset when you say ‘shit’ or something like that. But do you realize that almost our entire country sat still while they barbecued people in Los Angeles, firebombed a house, burned the people to death? …and you see, this is part of the pathology of people who are so sensitive to some kinds of stylistic offensiveness, and so callous to real cruelty and brutality.”
Florynce Kennedy

“The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.”

William J. Barber II
“Nothing is worse than being loud and wrong.”

“Facts are like cows. If you look them in the face long enough, they generally run away.”
