"Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field.
I will meet you there."
Rumi


"It kind of strikes me as a rationalization or like a downplay of what are clearly hateful beliefs [...]
This idea that it is okay being ironically racist or they are getting addicted to edgelord internet culture."
J. Holt


"Being mad at you is like being mad at a puppy - it's just too dumb to know any better."

"The shitposter’s “standard online shtick,” as Angela Nagle put it, is to flirt
with fascist tropes and racist idioms ironically, in order “to dodge responsibility for
his or her choices, aesthetic and otherwise.”
But there seems to be a thin line between shitposting and spiritual seekership.
Plausible deniability notwithstanding, a somewhat paradoxical mix of fantasies of omnipotence
and perceived vulnerability — the subject feeling at once hugely powerful and terribly persecuted —
has grown out of the attention-seeking contrarianism that had heretofore defined shitposting,
ultimately bleeding into monomania, persecutory ideation, and conspiratorial thinking."
Pinto


"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire.
But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends.

Murrow


"Trust me, in this day and age, it’s sicker not having panic attacks. Since when did pretending everything’s okay suddenly become the almighty norm?"
Darlene (Mr. Robot, S2E4: eps2.2_init1.asec)


"The hardest thing about this new world is trying to piece together who you are, and how you can become a part of it.
Keep helping people. That is who you are now."
James (from Vault 13 or 24 - or whereever he's really from) to Doctor Burhnefletch


"This is the wasteland, love is where you find it."
Scarlett (Nuka Break Fan Film, t=175)


"People keep fighting. And for what? Broken bones? Fools."
Thrane


"yes I believe in love, yes I'm a dreamer.
but I'm not alone, there are more of us than you suspect,
and we've got bombs, truth and beauty bombs.
