“Above all do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and believes his own lie comes to a point where he does not recognize the truth either in himself or anyone around him, and falls into a disrespect for everyone. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself over to base passions and coarse pleasures, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality. A man who lies to himself is often the quickest to take offense.”
F. Dostoevsky
“Washing one’s hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.”
Paulo Freire
“Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.”
Jerry Garcia
