Quote by Daniel Nayeri

“Maybe I should thank him for showing me that any power of one person over another is built on the threat of violence. But there must be some middle step when people disagree, before they try to rip each other apart. Right?”

“...when I want to tell you a story of fiction, all those kind of college students, they think that they have this holding on me, that they say, we don't want to listen to what you are, we want to listen to a little bit of what you are that goes well with what we're not afraid of (not what we are, we don't know who we are).... But what's most important in our interaction is the word, that the word won't scare us. It can't hurt us in a story, for sure, but we want a word that doesn't scare us. And we are kind of breaking ourself to something that is less and less a persona and more and more kind of a repetitive loop of ever-going forgettable experiences.”

“It is unfair, shameful, and an abuse of the system, the people, and power, a crime against humanity. A government that charges its people more or increases people's taxes, not to provide better services, but so that politicians can steal more and live luxurious lives without the stress of running out of money. They are not offering more services or improving anything. They are not helping more or giving more. Instead, they are taking more from the people so they can have more for themselves. These are crime syndicates in Parliament. They are not revolutionaries, they are simply opportunistic thieves.”
