“In polite society, we call our obsessions hobbies.”

“Modern society, the political body, the legal and judiciary system, the state of governance, capitalism and the very fabric of the society itself, including our religions and so-called morals and values, are institutions steeped in traditions of absolute and total violence.”

“Book collecting is an obsession, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.”

“Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job.”

“Politics is the name we give to the orchestration of power in any society.”
