“The artivist (artist +activist) uses her artistic talents to fight and struggle against injustice and oppression – by any medium necessary. The artivist merges commitment to freedom and justice with the pen, the lens, the brush, the voice, the body, and the imagination. The artivist knows that to make an observation is to have an obligation.” KnowsUseBodyArtistFightingVoiceImaginationJusticeStruggleTalentCommitmentInjusticeObligationMediumsOppressionObservationArtisticPensActivistBrushesLensesInjustice And OppressionArtistic Talent Author:M.

“The essence of justice is mercy. Making a child suffer for wrong-doing is merciful to the child. There is no mercy in letting the child have its own will, plunging headlong to destruction with the bits in its mouth. There is no mercy to society nor to the criminal if the wrong is not repressed and the right vindicated. We injure the culprit who comes up to take his proper doom at the bar of justice, if we do not make him feel that he has done a wrong thing. We may deliver his body from the prison, but not at the expense of justice nor to his own injury.” IfsFeelsMayChildrenDoneBodySufferingBitsJusticeMouthsDestructionMercyEssencePrisonCome UpCriminalsBarsInjuryExpensesDoomWrong ThingsMercifulRetributionRepressedCulpritVindicated Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin
“The liberty I mean is social freedom. It is that state of things in which liberty is secured by the equality of restraint. A constitution of things in which the liberty of no one man, and no body of men, and no number of men, can find means to trespass on the liberty of any person, or any description of persons, in the society. This kind of liberty is, indeed, but another name for justice.” MenKindMeanPersonsStatesPhilosophyBodyPoliticalNamesSocialJusticeNumbersLibertyConstitutionClassicDescriptionOne ManRestraintFind MePolitical PhilosophySecured Book:The Portable Edmund Burke Source: The Portable Edmund Burke
“America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong. Like, I was watching 'Breaking Bad' the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'f__k'. And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'f__k'? It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'?” ThinkingLooksShowsWisdomBodyRealityAmericaGuyPoliticsCommunityLeadershipJusticeDemocracyComedyGenerationsHuman NaturePolicyRight NowEthicsCookingStrategyHuman RightsIndividualitySocial MediaIdeologyCooksFree SpeechCivilityAcidPartisanship Author:Miley Cyrus

“... The popular attitude toward the administration of justice should be one of respect and confidence. Bureaucratic, purely official justice, can never receive such confidence.
