Quote by Margaret Gaffney

“Anastasia closed her mouth and for a few moments, she seemed to be struggling with intense emotions. Then, in one swift movement, she drove the blade into the boulder with the ease of slicing through soft butter. "You'll sit right there," she ordered, looking at her with repressed fury, "and you'll listen to everything I have to say.”

Wniosek: wszystko, co jest materialne, składa się z niczego.”

“L'essere umano è davvero una creatura straordinaria. Ha scoperto il fuoco, edificato città, scritto magnifiche poesie, dato interpretazioni del mondo, inventato mitologie etc... Ma allo stesso tempo non ha smesso di fare la guerra ai suoi simili, non ha smesso di ingannarsi, di distruggere l'ambiente circostante. La somma algebrica fra vigore intellettuale e coglioneria dà un risultato quasi nullo. Dunque, decidendo di parlare di imbecillità, rendiamo in un certo senso omaggio a questa creatura che è per metà geniale, per metà imbecille”

“The offender must be able to give something back. But criminals are most often poor people. They have nothing to give. The answers to this are many. It is correct that our prisons are by and large filled with poor people. We let the poor pay with the only commodity that is close to being equally distributed in society: time.”
