George R.R. Martin: When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4029





Phillip Blond: What is actually happening now is that monoploy capitalism needs the state to disempower ordinary people's institutions and lives. What we are actually developing in modern Europe is a post-democratic society. We are creating an oligarchical elite structure where moneyed elites, the elites of industry cohabit with political elites and they move into each other's regimes and spaces. So we have now produced what I would call a market state, and the market state really just exists for the benefit of those in the top. And there is clear economic and social evidence for this, it is very clear that only those at the very top of society in the developed world have really benefited from the last thirty years. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4033










Victor Hugo: Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4041





Victor Hugo: A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4045


Émile Souvestre: There is something more powerful than strength, than courage, than genius itself: it is the idea whose time has come. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4046


Victor Hugo: The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4047








Victor Hugo: If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4053







Victor Hugo: In short, between men and women you want... Equality. Equality! You can't mean it. Man and woman are two different creatures. I said equality. I didn't say identity. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4059





Victor Hugo: Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4062


Guy Endore: The Reign of Terror guillotined 2,596 in 15 months, while the anti-communards executed 20,000 in one week. Does this show the efficiency of the guillotine vs. modern rifles or the cruelty of upper vs. lower-class mobs? https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4063



Buckminster Fuller: You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4064
