"there is no good or bad art, I use to think this way but there is not. I look at it this way, if your art has achieved it's goal, the reason you created it then you've done it baby."
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” — Helen Keller

Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think. Not people that nod their heads and act like they agree; those people will cut you open just to watch you bleed.

Helen Keller was a lifelong anti-capitalist and alternately described herself as a socialist and a communist throughout her life. She was a critical thinker and not just a slavish follower either, for example she was pro-USSR until she found out about the heinous stuff Stalin had done in the name of communism, after which point she remained committed to communism but highly critical of Stalin and the Soviet project. She was a huge supporter of the anarchist Industrial Workers of the World union organization as well, so she wasn't a divisive "I'm a communist who looks down on anarchists" kind of anti-capitalist that were common at the time and unfortunately also common today, and I admire her a lot for that as an anarchist. She was exceedingly well read in anti-capitalist political theory and unfortunately any time she'd try to bring these sorts of things up in interviews the usual journalistic line of "look how much of a sharp, genius mind she has for someone who is deafblind!" was modified to "oh how quaint, a deafblind person thinks they can know about politics" and it boils my effin' blood as an anti-capitalist with a deafblind younger brother every time I think about it.
Anybody can become angry -- that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way -- that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
-- Aristotle
"If you think power is evil, think again. Seeking power is your natural instinct, an act of survival. And if you don't want to be in power, remember this, you want to be the one making the decisions, not the one to suffer as a result of them."
"The Jedi... The Sith... You don't get it do you? To the galaxy, they're the same thing. Just men and women with too much power squabbling over religion while the rest of us burn."
It was predicted that Anakin would bring balance to the force. Well, he did. When he joined the Jedi, there were two Sith and hundreds of Jedi in the galaxy. When he joined the dark side, there were two Sith and two Jedi. Balance achieved!
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” — Helen Keller
