“Neoliberalism isn't an economic program - it's a political program designed to produce hopelessness and kill any future alternatives.”
“Neoliberalism seems to ramp up every day, making it ever more difficult for anyone but corporations to own and run things and define the flavor of a place. I'd love to be optimistic about the future, but it's not easy.”
“Neoliberalism, arguably, sets the course for this kind for this kind of neo-extremism, this right-wing extremism that we are facing. The only way we solve that crisis, the rise of the right-wing extreme, is by truly progressive policies that address this crisis of economic security. That will not come from the lesser evil.”
“Neoliberalizam se danas posvuda bori sa svojim "sablastima". Stoga nam trenutak u kojem se pokušavalo slaviti pad Zida nije rekao mnogo o pustoši u koju su socijalistički režimi ostavili iza sebe, o čemu, uostalom, već sve znamo, već upravo o pustoši koju dana proizvodi neoliberalizam sam. I kao što su uzdrmane i licemjerne socijalističke birokracije tjeskobno gradile zidove, tako ih, kako na marginama zapadnog svijeta tako i u glavama, danas grade neoliberalni režimi. Dvadeset godina nakon pada Berlinskog zida znamo samo da se taj zid u glavi, kojim se neoliberalizam utemeljen na nejednakosti pokušava zaštiti od ideje socijalne i ekonomske emancipacije, počeo ozbiljno ljuljati. I to je u cijeloj priči bio možda jedini razlog za slavlje.”

“Neoliberalization has not been very effective in revitalizing global capital accumulation, but it has succeeded remarkably well in restoring, or in some instances (as in Russia and China) creating, the power of an economic elite. The theoretical utopianism of neoliberal argument has, I conclude, primarily worked as a system of justification and legitimation for whatever needed to be done to achieve this goal.”

“Neopaganism is about accepting that no one is more responsible for my spiritual growth than the trinity of me, myself, and I. No one is more responsible for working to maintain stewardship of this planet and its occupants. No one is more responsible for ensuring that spirituality continues to be a forceful part of daily life. No one is more responsible for guaranteeing that humans have the right to investigate the truth for themselves, provided their beliefs and resulting actions cause no other person unnecessary harm or discomfort. Neopaganism is a spiritual practice that, having been born out of ancient times, has arisen to return the responsibility of life choices back to the individual so that we can no longer point a finger without noticing the three pointing back at ourselves.”
“Neophyte writers tend to believe that there is something magical about ideas and that if they can just get a hold of a good one, then their futures are ensured.”
“Neophyte, n. There are millions upon millions of people who have been through this before-- why is it that no one can give my good advice?”
“Neoracists believe that we must indoctrinate children to cure them of racism. I say that children are racially innocent by nature, and we should protect that racial innocence for as long as possible.”

“Neorealism taught us to follow the characters with the camera, allowing each shot its own real interior time. Well, I became tired of all this; I could no longer stand real time. In order to function, a shot must show only what is useful.”
“Neoteny is more than retaining a youthful appearance, although that is often part of it. Neoteny is the retention of all those wonderful qualities that we associate with youth: curiosity, playfulness, eagerness, fearlessness, warmth, energy. Unlike those defeated by time and age, our geezers have remained much like our geeks – open, willing to take risks, hungry for knowledge and experience, courageous, eager to see what the new day brings. Time and lost steal the zest from the unlucky, and leave them looking longingly at the past. Neoteny is a metaphor for the quality – and the gift – that keeps the fortunate of whatever age focused on all marvelous undiscovered things to come.”

“Neotnia tilts her head and looks up at me for some time. And those eyes, the way they peer at me, it’s as if she can see facets of myself I’m not even aware of. Then with a motion so slight, she nods. ‘Hai,’ she says, and she presses her lips together and turns towards the blanket of stars above.”

“Neotnia translates his words: ‘When I was a little boy, my parents didn’t dance, but they loved to take me camping. I remember being around a campfire much like this one and gazing at the stars with them. I noticed how some showed brighter than others, and some twinkled at different rates. I asked what they were, and my parents told me the stars were kami. “Beautiful, shining kami in the sky. All different. All unique. Just like us.” I had never heard the word before, so assumed “kami” was simply another name for“people”. After that, whenever we went camping, I would always tell my parents I couldn’t wait until nightfall so I could see the beautiful shining people in the sky.”

“Neptune's bounty was followed by that of Diana. I had staged a "hunt" to take place while the diners ate. Several of the bigger slaves were dressed like bears, and hunters with bows chased them playfully around the couches while nymphs tried to hinder their progress. They ran carefully around the slaves serving trays of pork cracklings, mushrooms marinated in wine, stuffed dormice, and figs soaked in milk and honey.”

“Neptune’s Lost Banana by Stewart Stafford
O lost banana of Neptune,
Do you wonder why you’ve washed ashore?
Do people see a yellow fruit in the water?
Or a Portuguese Man O’War?
You were so near the fingertips of power,
Did fortune peel away your chances too quick?
Or do you see yourself in an ivory tower?
Of a split-away banana republic?
You could have been top banana,
Now you’re potential poetic justice,
For someone with bad karma to slip on,
And go skidding as you go squish.

“Nerd. Geek. Used to be if you self-identified that way, you'd get thrown into a locker and never have sex. Or worse, whatever that is. But to me and more and more people I know, being a nerd or a geek means having passion, power, intelligence. Being a nerd just means there is something in the world that you care deeply about—be it twelve-sided dice, a favorite sports team, your new laptop or Night Rider.”
