Quote by Gillian B. Fleming

“Revolutionary movements look back, as well as forward, to reclaim lost or disappearing rights and privileges, real or imagined, both as a means of expressing what might otherwise be almost impossible to express, and of driving forward fresh agendas for political, economic and social change.”

“When I was a teenager I started to think about how dedicated Dad was to the struggle for working-class rights. He had devoted his life to the Labour cause fighting inequality and that’s fucking great. I was proud of him. But what about women? He was out fighting the cause, and my mother was at home running the house. Where do women stand in the revolution? I’d seen Paine’s Rights of Man on his bookshelf. I wondered to myself, what about the rights of women?”

“I'm Here to Destroy You (Sonnet of Naskars) I'm not here to comfort you, I'm here to make you restless. I'm not here to enlighten you, I'm here to destroy you peaceless. When one Naskar dies, a thousand Naskars will rise. The duties of Naskar are too heavy for self-coddling cowards to carry. That's why, I'm here to destroy you, your last ounce of self care and peace. Doing what you need to sustain yourself is one thing, but to obsess over it is cowardice. I got no business with such cowardly insects, who try to hide pettiness with perfectionism. Give me ten messy vessels restless for purpose, I shall give the world 10,000 years of ascension.”
