Foreverism Quotes

“To utter "not if, but when" is to announce a determined future into existence and to silence any objections. At best, it can give attention to the concerning issues bearing down on us, but rarely are any alternatives offered to thwart, or at least mitigate, the harm of when. Rather, it promises relative stasis: we must maintain through the harsh season, the endless winter. To the degree change is possible, it is negative: thing will change, but the change will be for the worse. Meanwhile, corporate and military powers will make necessary changes to maintain the operability of markers, while the most vulnerable are expected to adopt a tough disposition, to make the necessary cuts to survive, and to do so without question and certainly without longing to for the past.”
― Grafton Tanner, Foreverism

“Nostalgia is experienced when one fondly aches for the past. Foreverism, on the other hand, will implore you to revive the past and save it from ever dying again in order to maintain capitalism in the perpetual present, with its promise of now forever. Nothing haunts this eternal instant, no ghosts rattle their chains. To exist in a foreverized void is to never die, to produce and compete under watchful eyes, drifting through an infinite universe where conversations never end, wandering if spring will ever come.”
― Grafton Tanner, Foreverism
