Pankaj Mishra

I've never really felt that being part of a literary community is all that important. It can be extremely detrimental to a writer.

Emma Goldman

Men and women ... do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have? It is a machine that crushes you in order to sustain the ruling class, your masters. Like naïve children you put your trust in your political leaders. You make it possible for them to creep into your confidence, only to have them betray you to the first bidder.

The State is the pillar of capitalism, and it is ridiculous to expect any redress from it.

Karen Horney

Jules Feiffer

Be warned against all 'good' advice because 'good' advice is necessarily 'safe' advice, and though it will undoubtedly follow a sane pattern, it will very likely lead one into total sterility--one of the crushing problems of our time.

Leo Tolstoy

It is horrible! It is not the suffering and the death of the animals that is horrible, but the fact that the man without any need for so doing crushes his lofty feeling of sympathy and mercy for living creatures and does violence to himself that he may be cruel. The first element of moral life is abstinence.

Lloyd Banks
