"Art mirrors the abyss; sometimes the abyss looks back."

"Music speaks what politics dare not articulate."

"Every revolution begins with someone refusing to accept the inevitable."

"The most subversive act is to live authentically in an artificial world."

"Literature is a conversation between the dead and the living."

"Kindness survives because it asks nothing of the world."

"The fear we do not name becomes the law we obey."
