Pier Paolo Pasolini: Who gave us – both young and old – the official language of protest? Marxism, poetry and the memory of the Resistance, which revives the thoughts of Vietnam and Bolivia. Why do I regret the official language of protest that the working class, through its bourgeois ideology, has given me? Because it is a language that never forgets the idea of power and is therefore always practical and reasonable. But are not pragmatism and reason the same gods who have made our bourgeois fathers mad and idiots? Poor Wagner and Nietzsche! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5050


Lenin: Materialism is the recognition of "objects in themselves", or outside the mind; ideas and sensations are copies of images of those objects. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5051



Neil deGrasse Tyson: Life is fragile: We live 80 years. But we’re dead after 8 weeks without food, 8 days without water, 8 minutes without air. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5053




Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5055













Dijkstra: The question of whether machines can think... Is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5064


Michael Jordan: I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5065



Karl Marx: The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5067


William Z. Foster: Like other spokesmen of the people, Lincoln was also the target of the most violent abuse, not the least of this coming from the very capitalist class which he was then leading to overwhelming victory. It is one of the ironies of history that the big capitalists of today, who are the supreme enemies of all democracy, can, although with tongue in cheek, cite the name of this great people’s leader as a champion of their class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5068




Miguel de Cervantes: He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5070


Miguel de Cervantes: In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5071





Miguel de Cervantes: Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5074









Miguel de Cervantes: Liberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed on man; with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals; for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives; and, on for the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall man. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5081
