When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

thomas jefferson

The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.

thomas paine

The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.

maximilien robespierre

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

Buckminster Fuller

I was going to die, sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you… What are the words you do not yet have? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own need for language."

Audre Lorde

Sura 6:62. Then are men returned unto “I AM”, their protector, **the (only) Reality**: is not His the Command? And He is the swiftest in taking account.

Sura 22:6. This is so, because **“I AM” is the Reality** : it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over **all** things.

Sura 23:116. Therefore exalted be “I AM”, The King, **The Reality: there is no God but He** , the Lord of The Throne of Honour!

Sura 31:30. That is because **“I AM” is the (ONLY) Reality**, and because whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood (and therefore Fantasy); and because “I AM”,- He is the Most High, Most Great.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

Jerry Garcia

Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.

Haile Selassie

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.

Henry David Thoreau

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
