       To be nobody but yourself—in a world which is, doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else— means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.--- e.e.cummings

       "The world is a wonderfully weird place, consensual reality is significantly flawed, no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens - but our lives are not as limited as we think they are, all things are possible, laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it’s love and love alone that really matters."—  Tom Robbins

       “A few beings are neither in society nor in a state of dreaming. They belong to an isolated fate, to an unknown hope. Their open acts seem anterior to time’s first inculpation and to the skies’ unconcern. It occurs to no one to employ them. The future melts before their gaze. They are the noblest and the most disquieting.”― René Char[Poetic Outlaws]

       @davidrevoy Conservatives should all go fuck themselves and stop worrying about their children maybe possibly being gay someday. If their kids are gay they'll figure that out on their own.

       Pity the nation whose people are sheep,and whose shepherds mislead them.Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.Pity the nation that raises not its voice,except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as heroand aims to rule the world with force and by torture...Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erodeand their freedoms to be washed away...—  Lawrence Ferlinghetti

       @_elena maybe get one of those little thermal printer cameras, that could be fun for her. I have one I played with a bit and got bored with it, but a kid that age would get a kick out of it.

       “The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals the fierce conflicts of interest between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex. And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners.”— Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States
