Quote by Svend Brinkmann

“Frihed består ikke i en konstant kredsen om sig selv og sine indre lyster og ønsker, men i en besindelse på det, man er en del af og kommer fra.”

“Hvad er Jeg? Jeg er ikke kapitalist, Jeg er ikke kommunist Jeg er ikke socialist Jeg er ikke traditionalist. En ynkelig, klinisk sekterisk art som din kan ikke forstå, hvad jeg er. Betyder det, at jeg ikke er den samme art som dig! Selvfølgelig er jeg - men fra en anden dimension - en anden dimension i tid - en anden dimension i tankerne - hvor intellektet kun er et redskab, ikke tortur - hvor tro kun er et valg, ikke en tvang - hvor penge kun er et middel, ikke en mester - hvor enhed er grundlæggende, ikke fiktion.”

“Watoto hawatakiwi kuchungwa kupita kiasi hasa katika kipindi hiki ambacho dunia imekata tamaa. Ukiwanyima watoto uhuru wa kuwa watoto leo watakuwa na uhuru wa kuwa watoto kesho. Uhuru utakaowanyima wakiwa wadogo watakuja kuutafuta baadaye wakiwa wakubwa. Wakiutafuta baadaye wakiwa wakubwa hawataeleweka vizuri katika jamii. Wape watoto uhuru wanaostahili kupata lakini si uhuru wa kila kitu.”

“The still-rising sun is behind him, outlining his broad shoulders and tall, sturdy frame in golden light. As he gets closer, stepping through the rainbow of mist reflecting off the sprinkler's spray, I take in the rest of him.....I can almost see how a smile would spread across his face, the lift of his full lips... Which I realize are moving right now. Oh shit. He's talking and may have been talking for a long time while I gawked and had a whole R & B slow jam going in my head.”

“We live in a sort of Matrix—one of our own manipulated mental making. Our emotions, thoughts and beliefs are the raw power that can be focused to create our experience of reality. To begin breaking free (individually before even so much as contemplating doing this collectively), we must stop taking the black pill of skepticism and down the red pill of introspection. Only then, by exercising our will, can we resist the temptation to deny our true potential using the blue pill and, instead, graduate to the white pill of transcendence. Less poetically, our task is to confront the limitations of our own belief systems, and the resultant intellectual constructs, and dismantle the bars and wires of our self-imposed prison. To do this requires looking inside as responsible agents of change, not outside as victims of a world beyond our control.”

“Female monsters take things as personally as they really are. They study facts. Even if rejection makes them feel like the girl who's not invited to the party, they have to understand the reasons why. ... Every question, once it's formulated, is a paradigm, contains its own internal truth. We have to stop diverting ourselves with false questions. And I told Warren: I aim to be a female monster too.”
