Quote by Wisława Szymborska

“See how efficient it still is, how it keeps itself in shape-- our century's hatred. How easily it vaults the tallest obstacles. How rapidly it pounces, tracks us down.”

“All I do is try to debunk the lies, hate, and racism that I see online every day. That's what I do every day on FB and other sites. /"So you're not the only one." If it's an untruth, I will show you the truth. If it's an outright lie, I will prove it's a lie. If it's racist, I will tell you why it's racist.”

“You know what I hate most in this world? People who aren't free.”

Hate Freedom

Author:Hajime Isayama

“You could hate a sofa, of course—that is, if you could hate a sofa. But it didn't matter. You still had to get together $4.80 a month. If you had to pay $4.80 a month for a sofa that started off split, no good, and humiliating—you couldn't take any joy in owning it. And the joylessness stank, pervading everything. The stink of it kept you from painting the beaverboard walls; from getting a matching piece of material for the chair; even from sewing up the split, which became a gash, which became a gaping chasm that exposed the cheap frame and the cheaper upholstery. It withheld the refreshment in a sleep slept on it. It imposed a furtiveness on the loving done on it. Like a sore tooth that is not content to throb in isolation, but must diffuse its own pain to other parts of the body—making breathing difficult, vision limited, nerves unsettled, so a hated piece of furniture produces a fretful malaise that asserts itself throughout the house and limits the delight of things not related to it.”
