Quote by Greg Baxter

“You start to feel panic, because you realise that human beings are possessed by the idea that they must fill the world with objects and ideas that will outlive them, and you suddenly glimpse the fires that burn below human despair.”

“It is complicated,’ they say. I am so sick of this response. Many people use it repeatedly to escape depth and confronting reality. They use it to take solace in the fact that they don’t know (or don’t wish to know) the ugly truth of what is happening right in front of their eyes. They reduce crimes, injustice, war, pain, hunger, rape, and everything that must be unpacked, dissected, and confronted to this: ‘It is complicated.’ They say this about COVID-19, too. Oh, how I have grown to hate this response. Every time I hear this statement from someone, it sounds like ‘I am a loser’ to my ears. ‘It is complicated’ is the favorite response of lazy brains that refuse to think and do. Oh, my friends, I insist it is not complicated. If you really want to know, it is not so complicated. However, if you are really looking for reasons and excuses to justify your silence, complicity, and to protect your self-interest, then you are absolutely right – it is complicated!”

“Non fatte mai amicizia con gli imbroglioni, i bugiardi, gli ingannatori, gli agitatori, i sabotatori, i traditori, i malfattori, i calunniatori, i pugnalatori alle spalle, le canaglie, i collezionisti disonesti di fondi con dei loro truffatori indossando abiti eleganti fingendosi come dei buoni samaritani i quali usano i donazioni raccolti per la politica partigiana, patrocinio politico, propaganda sporca, e per il loro frequenti viaggi intercontinentali. Mai accettare l’amicizia dai promotori senza scrupoli, i propagandisti fraudolenti, i consulenti disonesti dei candidati politici, gli corrieri diffamatori degli disinformazioni, gli aggressivi incitatori di odio, le mascalzone, i truffatori, i manipolatrici dei golpisti falliti, e le cagne e gli stronzi strumenti dei politici sporchi. Loro non fanno la vera amicizia perché ti usano solo per le loro interessi e mascalzonata." ~ Ana Angelica Abaya van Doorn writing as Angelica Hopes Citazione da Sfidatopia, Book 2, Solo la verità è bella Trilogy © Ana Angelica Abaya van Doorn”
