“Once you get to that place where you can walk on water, you suddenly find yourself on solid ground where before you thought there was no support. And this support comes not from you, but from everything around you. Once you begin to act from this place, the whole universe conspires to support you.” — Derrick Jensen (via rockandrollandrobin)

“There are huge efforts that do go into making people, to borrow Adam Smith’s phrase, “as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human being to be.” A lot of the educational system is designed for that, if you think about it, it’s designed for obedience and passivity. From childhood, a lot of it is designed to prevent people from being independent and creative. If you’re independent-minded in school, you’re probably going to get into trouble very early on.” — Education Is Ignorance, Noam Chomsky (via decivitate)

“You might get killed if you read, girls and boys,
For as you’ve heard books are more than sticks and stones
They are daggers so sharp they cut high-gears
Bullets so powerful and loud that evil flees on fear
So effective, immortal, that even God aches in its bones
So read yourself, children, forget your inane toys
Arm yourself with soil and words
end this existence made of oil
help us thrive in this, our precious world.”
