Powerful Quotes

Like language itself, a technology predisposes us to favor and value certain perspectives and accomplishments and to subordinate others.

The present powerful, being committed to polarization, expect that any new deal will overturn the one that set them in authority; that the last shall be first and the first last, role reversal everywhere, men as slaves, women as masters, in a revolution of contradiction.
Elizabeth Janeway
