Chapter Sixty Seven: No Cause

A MIXTURE OF CLASSICAL THOUGHTS

Pursuant to the Statutes of Limitations

The only way to deal with an unfree world

is to become so absolutely free that your

very existence is an act of rebellion.

Albert Camus

-o0o-

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

Benjamin Franklin

-o0o-

Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution,

and the raising of consciousness.

Alice Walker

-o0o-

An oligrachy of race, where the Saxon rules

the African, might be endured; but this

oligarchy of sex which makes father, brothers,

husband, sons, the oligarchs over mother

and sisters, the wife and daughters of every

household . . . carries discord and rebellion

into every home of the nation.

Susan B. Anthony

-o0o-

Learning is always rebellion . . . Every bit of

new truth discovered is revolutionary

to what was believed before.

Margaret Lee Runbeck

The genius of any slave system is found in the

dynamics which isolate slaves from each other,

obscure the reality of a common condition,

and make united rebellion against

the oppressor inconceivable.

Andrea Dworkin

-o0o-

Rebellion is not always a right thing.

Following the rules is not always the right thing.

You have to think for yourself and identify

the things that do not work for you.

Yorgos Lanthimos

History shows us that in times of people feeling

like they are in need of some sort of rebellion

or protests, the artists rise because the poetry

we create about pain and its relationship

to culture in the world begins to soothe and

heal people who are feeling confused or afraid.

Lady Gaga

-o0o-

There are some people bent on blowing up the

situation in the country. I call them the

fifth column. They are not an opposition.

They want to stage a rebellion in the country.

Their dream is to topple down the government

and overthrow the president.

Alexander Lukashenko

-o0o-

I have moved from certainty to doubt,

from devotion to rebellion.

Phil Donahue

-o0o-

We need punk now; we need it more than ever.

We need rebellion by youth.
