“Civil disobedience

is not our problem.
Our problem is civil obedience.

Our problem is
that people all over the world
have obeyed the dictates of leaders…
and millions have been killed
because of this obedience…

Our problem is
that people are obedient
allover the world
in the face of poverty
and starvation and stupidity,
and war, and cruelty.

Our problem is
that people are obedient
while the jails are full
of petty thieves…
(and) the grand thieves
are running the country. 
That’s our problem.”

- Howard Zinn

"Darkness imprisoning me

All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell..."

“If people would know

how little brain
is ruling the world,
they would die of fear.

“What doesn't hurt

- is not life; 

what doesn't pass
- is not happiness.”

POSSESSING ME

THOU SHALT POSSESS ALL THINGS,
BUT THY LIFE IS MINE,
FOR GOD HAS SO WILLED IT.
WISH,
AND THY WISHES SHALL BE FULFILLED;
BUT MEASURE THY DESIRES,
ACCORDING TO THE LIFE
THAT IS IN THEE.
THIS IS THY LIFE,
WITH EACH WISH I MUST SHRINK
EVEN AS THY OWN DAYS.
WILT THOU HAVE ME? TAKE ME.
GOD WILL HEARKEN UNTO THEE.
SO BE IT!

- Honoré de Balzac (La Peau de chagrin)

“My Crown is in my heart,

not on my head:
Not deck'd with Diamonds,
and Indian stones:
Nor to be seen:
my Crown is call'd Content,
A Crown it is,
that seldom Kings enjoy.”

― William Shakespeare, King Henry VI, Part 3
