MARGARET ATWOOD
The Handmaid's Tale
This might be the last time I have to wait, but I don't know what I'm waiting for. What are you waiting for, I used to say. That meant hurry up. No answer was expected. For what are you waiting is a different question. And I have no answer for that one either. Yet, it isn't waiting exactly. It's more like a form of suspension, without suspense. At last, there is no time.
HH the XIVth DALAI LAMA
It is critical to serve others, to contribute actively to others’ well-being. I often tell practitioners that they should adopt the following principle: Regarding one’s own personal needs, there should be as little involvement or obligation as possible. But regarding service to others, there should be as many involvements and obligations as possible. This should be the ideal of a spiritual person.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY
There is the great danger and the great difference. France is a country and Great Britain is several countries but Italy is a man, Mussolini, and Germany is a man, Hitler.
A man has ambitions, a man rules until he gets into economic trouble; he tries to get out of this trouble by war. A country never wants war until a man through the power of propaganda convinces it.
Propaganda is stronger now than it has ever been before. Its agencies have been mechanized, multiplied and controlled until, in a state ruled by any one man, truth can never be presented.
GEORGE ORWELL
1984
He tried to make her understand.
"This was an exceptional case. It wasn't just a question of somebody being killed. Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it's in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
"I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event -- years after it."

The 10 Dems who voted for censure MUST be primaried and removed in 2026.
I don't care who they are. They. Must. Go.
If these "Moderates" will flip on the 1st Amendment but not censure Boebert or MTG then they'll flip again to comply with Trump's dictatorship.

WALLACE SHAWN
The Designated Mourner
She said something like, “I don’t understand your relationship to society. I don’t understand your relationship to the world.”
“You know what?” I said snippily. “I don’t understand my relationship to my own ass. I was standing naked in the bathroom and I saw my ass in the mirror and I said, ‘What is that? What is that? And what does it have to do with me?’”
