“It’s not the drug that causes the junkie it’s the laws that causes the junkie because of course the drug laws means that he can’t go and get help because he is afraid of being arrested. He also can’t have a normal life because the war on drugs has made drugs so expensive and has made drug contracts unenforceable which means they can only be enforced through criminal violence.
It becomes so profitable to sell drugs to addicts that the drug dealers have every incentive to get people addicted by offering free samples and to concentrate their drug to the highest possible dose to provoke the greatest amount of addiction as possible.
Overall it is a completely staggering and completely satanic human calamity. It is the new gulag and in some ways much more brutal than the soviet gulag. In the soviet gulags there was not a huge prison rape problem and in this situation your life could be destroyed through no fault of your own through sometimes, no involvement of your own and the people who end up in the drug culture are walled off and separated as a whole and thrown into this demonic, incredibly dangerous, underworld were the quality of the drugs can’t be verified. Were contracts can’t be enforced except through breaking peoples kneecaps and the price of drugs would often led them to a life of crime.
People say “well, I became a drug addict and I lost my house, family, and my job and all that.” It’s not because you became a drug addict but, because there is a war on drugs which meant that you had to pay so much for the drugs that you lost your house because you couldn't go and find help or substitutes and ended up losing your job. It’s all nonsense. The government can’t keep drugs out of prisons for heaven’s sakes. The war on drugs is not designed to be won. Its designed to continue so that the government can get the profits of drug running both directly through the CIA and other drug runners that are affiliated or through bribes and having the power of terrorizing the population.
To frame someone for murder is pretty hard but to palm a packet of cocaine and say that you found it in their car is pretty damn easy and the government loves having that power."
-Stefan Molyneux”

“It's not the end of the world if we lose," Francis said. "Don't lose sleep over it."
She hated that about him - his willingness to accept a loss before it had even happened. It was his way of consoling his team, she guessed: he believed it was better to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised than to be crushed by an unexpected loss.
Dan thought a coach had no right to be so pessimistic. She didn't want a coach who softened the blow. She wanted a coach who believed in the impossible.
"I can't afford to lose," she told him. "I need to make it to finals if I'm to catch a recruiter's eye."
"Danielle, I need you to understand something."
"I'm good," Dan insisted. "I'm more than good enough to make the cut."
"You're very talented..."
"Don't patronize me, Coach."
"You're amazing," he said, "but it's not enough to be good. You're a girl."
"That means nothing."
"That means everything. Maybe it's not fair, but it's a fact. Men are faster and stronger. They can hit harder and throw further. Nothing you do can change that bias. If a coach can choose between a man and a woman, he will choose the man every time."
"There are plenty of women playing for college teams."
"I didn't say there aren't women," Francis said. "I'm saying they're the exception.”
“It's not the end of the world.'

Without one final wave goodbye.”

“It's not the fact that some people disagree with the protests. That is as much a right as the protests themselves. It is the hateful, profane, condescending way some have expressed their discontent that baffles me. How do you criticize actions you've deemed disrespectful and divisive and an affront to civilized behavior with rhetoric to the same end? That's like the devil judging the Grim Reaper for harvesting souls.”
“It's not the falling asleep that's the real problem. It's not even the ignorance that one is asleep. The real problem is the denial, as this perpetuates both the sleep and the ignorance.”
“It's not the first kiss that matters. It's the last.”

Rather, it’s the persistent and adamantly stubborn conviction that we will in no way leave the world the way that we found it. And I would rather join hands with a single person of this kind than sit with a million gifted people who are not of this kind.”
“It’s not the goal that will make you successful, it’s what you do daily.”
“It’s not the good we see in the people we love, but what we refuse to see that gives us strength.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“Sometimes when we care about someone, we deny what’s right in front of us so we can move forward, so we have a reason to continue to love.”
