I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town.
Emily Bronte
-
Which is to say that culture is not a reflex of political economy, but that society is now a reflex of key shifts in music theory and practice.... Sampladelia is the sound made by those early-twentieth-century discoveries in particle physics and relativiity theory, the projection of the minds of Einstein, Heisenbery, and Bohr, their fateful explorations of liquid time, curving space, uncertainty fields and relativity theorems, into densely configured and fully ambivalent android music tracks.
Arthur Kroker

Ursula K. Le Guin

Oliver Goldsmith

Black is beautiful when it is a slum kid studying to enter college, when it is a man learning new skills for a new job, or a slum mother battling to give her kids a chance for a better life. But white is beautiful, too, when it helps change society to make our system work for black people also. White is ugly when it oppresses blacks-and so is black ugly when black people exploit other blacks. No race has a monopoly on vice or virtue, and the worth of an individual is not related to the color of his skin.
Whitney M. Young

What is art? A violet. Is that all? An artistic style is a living entity, a continuous process of invention.

Octavio Paz

Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it, that is, who have deserved equally well absolutely.

John Stuart Mill
-
Rigondeaux was Cuba's answer to Bobby Fischer who transformed into a kind of Lee Harvey Oswald traitorous creature in that society. He escaped on a smuggler's boat and toppled one of the best fighters in the world in 2013 with his obliteration of Nonito Donaire at Radio City Music Hall. He made it look so easy, his career has never recovered.
Brin-Jonathan Butler
-
I don't understand and don't enjoy sci-fi, and it's just that if people aren't real, and they don't live in a real and recognizable society, I don't understand what to do.
Peter Morgan
