“I watched my life as if it were happening to someone else. My son died. And I was hurt, but I watched my hurt, and even relished it, a little, for now I could write a real death, a true loss.

“Without union our independence and liberty would never have been achieved; without union they can never be maintained. Divided into twenty-four, or even a smaller number, of separate communities, we shall see our internal trade burdened with numberless restraints and exactions; communications between distant points and sections obstructed or cut off; our sons made soldiers to deluge with blood the fields they now till in peace...The loss of liberty, of all good government, of peace, plenty, and happiness, must inevitably follow a dissolution of the Union.” Has BeensMadeGovernmentCommunityLossNumbersLibertyFourCuttingBloodFieldsSonCommunicationTwentiesIndependenceTradeUnionsSoldierPlentyInternalsDividedRestraintSectionsDissolutionDeluge Book:Annual messages, veto messages, protest, &c. of Andrew Jackson, President of the United States Source: Annual messages, veto messages, protest, &c. of Andrew Jackson, President of the United States

But at the same time, you should be able to talk about abuses of power, and you should be able to talk about police brutality and what, in some cases, is as far as I'm concerned, outright murder and outright loss of justice without the police organization targeting you in the way that they have done me.” IfsWayShouldYearsDoneAbleLastsMotherFatherForceBlackCommunityJusticeLossCasesSonDrugCreatingDaughterConcernedOrganizationAbuseMurderPoliceBrownOffensePolice BrutalityBrutalityRepresentingMistrustAbuse Of PowerSon And DaughterPolice ForceBusting Author:Quentin Tarantino
“When you talk about "infertility" you're already using a land-based metaphor - a woman's body compared to property, to be considered fruitful or barren.

“Leto turned a hard stare at Kynes. And Kynes, returning the stare, found himself troubled by a fact he had observed here: This Duke was concerned more over the men than he was over the spice. He risked his own life, and that of his son to save the men. He passed off the loss of a spice crawler with a gesture. The threat to men's lives had him in a rage. A leader such as that would command fanatic loyalty. He would be difficult to defeat. Against his own will and all previous judgements, Kynes admitted to himself: I like this Duke.” MenHardFactsWould BeFoundDifficultLossLeaderSonConcernedThreatDefeatRageLoyaltyCommandStaringJudgementGesturesFanaticsSpicesDukes Book:DUNE Source: DUNE
