Thomas Sankara
“The specific character of [women's] oppression cannot be explained away by equating different situations through superficial and childish simplifications[:]

It is true that both the woman and the male worker are condemned to silence by their exploitation. But under the current system, the worker's wife is also condemned to silence by her worker-husband. In other words, in addition to the class exploitation common to both of them, women must confront a particular set of relations that exist between them and men, relations of conflict and violence that use physical differences as their pretext.”
Thomas Sankara, Women's Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle

Albert Camus
“Mother used to say that however miserable one is, there’s always something to be thankful for. And each morning, when the sky brightened and light began to flood my cell, I agreed with her.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

William S. Burroughs
“Exterminate all rational thought”
William Burroughs, Naked Lunch: The Restored Text

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Take care of the people, and god almighty will take care of himself.”
Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

Theodor W. Adorno
“A man who lies is ashamed, for each lie teaches him the degradation of a world which, forcing him to lie in order to live, promptly sings the praises of loyalty and truthfulness.”
Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life
