My favorite quote for today:
... On America ...
"We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world - bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are whores for power and oil with hate and fear in our hearts."
― Hunter S. Thompson

"After a few years of mercifully being ignored by everyone but the local press, the true-crime industrial complex had found Amanda. And as much as she did not want people to hear about her daughter's murder between adverts for mattresses and meal-delivery kits, it had already begun. And people wanted to speak to her. There'd be no escaping them now, the true-crime people. People like me, really."

We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a while. For you must not forget that we can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.

“Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, the great avenues will again be opened through which will pass free men to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!"

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much blood shed it might be done.

"No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes." — Henry Miller — — — #HenryMiller #quote #quotes #classics #newcomers #newbies #establishment #past #future
