Quote by Primo Levi

“Dissention, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that's why you are not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, but you are not.”

“What is it about a fat body that is so offensive? How on earth does the melanin in my skin incite a frown? Have you seen this skin in the sun?! Whew! The golden undertones that highlight my cheekbones are glorious! The rolls that make up my person are warm and inviting. No one that has been embraced by them leaves unsatisfied. In my hands there is healing. In my presence, I house joy.”

“Colonials Go Home! (Forest Fascist Reserve, Sonnet) Colonials go home, not to England or Europe, but straight to the jungle! Only place wild animals are beautiful, is in the dog-eat-dog spaces of the wild. Don't worry, once in a while we'll visit, like we visit any of your fellow animals. If anything, visiting you will inspire us further, to never deviate from integration. Nevertheless, there is still another way, you don't need to be deported back to the jungle. If there is even a smidgen of humanity in you, now is the time to bring it out, and get help. Otherwise, we can easily trace your family tree, back to the time your family lived in it. Once we do, all nine billion of us will chip in, and hire a couple of cargo planes to deport all you bigots to a forest fascist reserve.”

“That Day I'll Call You Human (Sonnet) I shall call you all human, the day you bring down all borders, like you brought down the Berlin wall. I shall call you all human, the day you abolish all military, like you abolished the SS. I shall call you all human, the day you eradicate fundamentalism, like you eradicated polio. I shall call you all human, the day you ban the oligarchs, like you tackled corona. If you can't be a tsunami, be a flash flood - if you can't be a flash flood, be a garden hose, and wash away the inhumanities around you.”
