“There are so many comics about violence. I'm not entertained or amused by violence, and I'd rather not have it in my life. Sex, on the other hand, is something the vast majority of us enjoy, yet it rarely seems to be the subject of comics. Pornography is usually bland, repetitive and ugly, and, at most, 'does the job.' I always wanted to make a book that is pornographic, but is also, I hope, beautiful, and mysterious, and engages the mind.” MindDoeBookHandsSeemsWantedJobsBeautifulSexEnjoyViolenceSubjectsMajorityUglyMysteriousPornographyAmusedRepetitiveBland Author:Dave McKean
“Sam Harris fearlessly describes a moral and intellectual emergency precipitated by religious fantasies--misguided beliefs that create suffering, that rationalize violence, that have endangered our nation and our future. His argument for the morality, the honesty, and the humility of atheism is galvanizing. It is a relief that someone has spoken so frankly, with such passion yet such rationality. Now when the subject arises, as it inevitably does, I can simply say: Read Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation.” DoeI CanChristianSufferingPassionBeliefNationsReligiousMoralFantasyViolenceAtheismSubjectsHonestyHumilityMoralityIntellectualArgumentLettersAriseReliefOur FutureRationalityEmergenciesMisguidedRationalizeChristian Nation Author:Janna Levin
“There is a tendency under capitalism system to reduce everything to a kind of commodity fetish, and this order tends to promote extremely conventional and uniform expressions of gender and sexuality in order to promote certain products and lifestyle choices that are commercialized. This necessarily entails a capitulation to heteronormativity, or in the case of the new gay movement, a "homonormativity" that doesn't stray far from the heterosexual paradigm. Anyone who questions these normative values and conventions is subject to disapproval, hostility, or even violence.” KindCertainValuesOrderChoicesCasesViolenceSubjectsMovementExpressionProductsGayCapitalismGenderSexualityLifestyleTendenciesConventionsConventionalUniformsCommodityHostilityParadigmFetishDisapprovalCapitulationLifestyle ChoicesGender And Sexuality Author:Bruce LaBruce

“This subject brings me to that vilest offspring of the herd mind -- the odious militia. The man who enjoys marching in line and file to the strains of music falls below my contempt; he received his great brain by mistake -- the spinal cord would have been amply sufficient. This heroism at command, this senseless violence, this accursed bombast of patriotism -- how intensely I despise them! War is low and despicable, and I had rather be smitten to shreds than participate in such doings.” MenMindHas BeensWarFallEnjoyLinesMistakeBrainViolenceSubjectsHe ManLowsCommandSufficientContemptDespiseHeroismStrainFilesHerdsOffspringCordsDespicableMilitiaDoingsSmittenSpinal CordSenseless Violence Author:Albert Einstein
