Quote by Dan Desmarques

“There are three kinds of people: the ones who need to be accepted and copy anything that can help them get admiration, so that they can exchange their identity for respect. Then, you have the ones who have given up on wanting to be accepted and impose their will on others in order to exchange fear for acceptance. Finally, you have those who simply are as they wish to be, and they can be happy one way or another. These are difficult to find and when found difficult to understand for the others, although all seek the same, which is a self-awareness through the meaning of life.”

“America, you whitewash history, literally, and leave out much of its meaning and discovery. And, as we try to get better at uncovering these truths, so many who want to pretend otherwise fight and legislate to push them back underground, to once again bury them. There are so many discoveries that have been found and made, and then buried and left for us to re-find (or not)--discoveries about autonomy and equality and peace and compromise and respect for all the creatures who inhabit the planet and the planet itself. Our written history has destroyed the voices of the people from whom we stole this land and the voices of those whose lives we stole to build it, the voices of women and children and people whose skin color or language or belief system did not fit the status quo of the time and place where they lived. All were destroyed because it did not serve some lust for power or control or just because the people in charge of such things really did not believe they were very important, or refused to believe that they should be.”
