“Any act of violence creates resentment and resistance, because humans were meant to be free.”

“Art begins with resistance—at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.”

“Some never participate. Life happens to them. They get by on little more than dumb persistence and resist with anger or violence all things that might lift them out of resentment-filled illusions of security. -Alma Mavis Taraza”

“To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.”

“One act, by one individual human being, creates a new humanity.”

“The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of their act as violence; rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness. The same can be said of most of the violence humans have ever committed.”
