Imogen Binnie
“It's fucking wild if you think about it, how well being totally checked out emotionally can look like normal American masculinity.”
Imogen Binnie, Nevada

bell hooks
“It is necessary to remember, as we think critically about domination, that we all have the capacity to act in ways that oppress, dominate, wound (whether or not that power is institutionalized). It is necessary to remember that it is first the potential oppressor within that we must resist – the potential victim within that we must rescue – otherwise we cannot hope for an end to domination, for liberation.”
bell hooks, Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black

Darnell Lamont Walker
“Holocaust survivors and their descendants are supposed to hate those who oppressed and killed them and their people. Black people are not. This is how anti-blackness works.”
Darnell Lamont Walker

Zeynep Tufekci
“Libraries are core symbols of an ethic of non-commodified knowledge. Anyone, regardless of how much money she or he has, can check out a book, and a book is passed from person to person in a chain of knowledge sharing.”
Zeynep Tufekci, Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest

Alain de Botton
“Unrequited love may be painful, but it is safely painful, because it does not involve inflicting damage on anyone but oneself, a private pain that is as bitter-sweet as it is self-induced. But as soon as love is reciprocated, one must be prepared to give up the passivity of simply being hurt to take on the responsibility of perpetrating hurt oneself.”
Alain de Botton, Essays in Love
