Criss Jami, Killosophy

Katie Alender
“Apparently when it's two people, it's quirky and funny, but when it's a person doing the same stuff on her own, it's rebellious and antisocial.”
Katie Alender, Bad Girls Don't Die

Kwame Nkrumah
“Never before in history has such a sweeping fervor for freedom expressed itself in great mass movements which are driving down the bastions of empire. This wind of change blowing through Africa, as I have said before, is no ordinary wind. It is a raging hurricane against which the old order cannot stand [...] The great millions of Africa, and of Asia, have grown impatient of being hewers of wood and drawers of water, and are rebelling against the false belief that providence created some to be menials of others. Hence the twentieth century has become the century of colonial emancipation, the century of continuing revolution which must finally witness the total liberation of Africa from colonial rule and imperialist exploitation.”
Kwame Nkrumah, Africa Must Unite

Vincent van Gogh

Michael Ben Zehabe
“This is a simple study. Yet, you can use this book to see deeper into the personality of God. I find it heartwarming that God was like a concerned parent who continuously moved the dialogue forward. Notice that Jonah was like a rebellious and headstrong son committing an idolatry of law over justice.”
Michael Ben Zehabe, A Commentary on Jonah

Richard Rohr
“We are usually on bended knee before laws or angrily reacting against them, both immature responses.”
Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

Michael Ben Zehabe
“There is a payoff for examining the divine author's literary style. It will tell you something about Him. Whereas, Jonah's actions are extensively described and laboriously detailed, God's reactions (although miraculous) are only described in sparse, minimalist terms.
God seems much more amused by Jonah than Jonah is with God. Every miracle is directed at Jonah. Yet, very little copy is used to described God's miracles. Although God's miracles are much more astonishing than Jonah's immature fits of rebellion, more copy is dedicated to Jonah.”
Michael Ben Zehabe, A Commentary on Jonah

Carla H. Krueger
“Disorder, disobedience & rule breaking are features of all my stories.”
Amaya Ellman

Catherynne M. Valente
“Even if you hadn't entirely deposed (and possibly killed) not one but two governments and destabilized all sorts of political regions you couldn't even pronounce, let alone draft up constitutional monarchies for, even if you'd been far more careful about leaving your toys strewn about everywhere when you tire yourself out with anarchy and run on home, I'd say you really are the lowest sort.”
Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

Robyn Young
“At that moment, Robert saw James Stewart turn to him. A jolt went through him as the steward nodded. Before anyone could begin speaking again, he headed out of the crowd towards Wallace, leaving his men looking on in surprise.
‘We have chosen to elect this man as our guardian.’ Robert’s voice was harsh as he gestured to Wallace. ‘But he is still just the son of a knight.’
‘You dare to challenge his election?’ demanded Adam. Other shouts of scorn and ire joined his.
‘On the contrary,’ answered Robert, ‘I am suggesting that a man of William Wallace’s achievements, a man who is to be sole guardian of Scotland, bears a title befitting his prowess.’ He faced the crowd. ‘I, Sir Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick, offer William Wallace the honour of a knighthood.’ He turned to Wallace. ‘If he will bend before me.”
Robyn Young, Insurrection

“Fallen man is both terrified of vulnerability and committed to maintaining independence.”
Kay Warren, Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn't Enough

Jacquel Chrissy May
“And I kind of like the Teen Rebels; they seem to be better than the Bullying Trio. Still, watch your backs, rebels!”
Jacquel Chrissy May, The Summer of Our Discontent

“I don't want to be buried in the ground, rotting, with all those worms. What I would love is to have my body dropped where you have those big icebergs and the water is so cold and pure, to be eaten by a polar bear or a seal or an otter.”
Jean Claude Van Damme

“Rebellion is all we'll be talking about. Love is revolution, a kind of coup d'état and cultural reprogramming in its own little way.”
The Harvard Lampoon, The Hunger Pains: A Parody

Fernando Araya
“Pensar es el mayor acto de rebelión.”
Fernando Araya

G.K. Chesterton
“The poet will be discontented even in the streets of heaven. The poet is always in revolt."

"There again," said Syme irritably, "what is there poetical about being in revolt? You might as well say that it is poetical to be sea-sick.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

Glenn Beck
“Most young people have rebellious, anti-authoritarian impulses. They don't like being told what, when, or how to do something. It's ironic, then, that many of these same people embrace a system in which there would be far more regulations, many more bureaucrats micromanaging their lives, and far more rules and restrictions on how things can be done.”
Glenn Beck, Cowards: What Politicians, Radicals, and the Media Refuse to Say

G.K. Chesterton
“Each thing that obeys law [has] the glory and isolation of the anarchist.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

Tim Fargo
“At a trade show, someone said, "You'll get in trouble for that." I replied,"Are they going to call the trade show police?”
Tim Fargo, Alphabet Success - Keeping it Simple

George F. Will
“It is hard to remain iconoclastic when standing waist-deep in the shards of smashed icons.”
George will, A Nice Little Place on the North Side: A History of Triumph, Mostly Defeat, and Incurable Hope at Wrigley Field

Courtney Kirchoff, Jaden Baker

“Do not be a follower. Be a leader. Rebel-Rebel-Rebel.”
Nadair Desmar

“How do we stay on the narrow path of following God's will in every sphere of life? How do we maintain sure footing and not fall into the temptation of rebellion on one side, or the temptation of legalism on the other?

God has not sent us out across a tightrope! Yes, the path is narrow, but on both sides of the path is a solid handrail, driven down deep into the rock. What has God given to us that we might not rebel against Him? He has given us His sufficient Word. What has God given us that we might not become legalists and elevate our words above His? He has given us His sufficient word.”
Rob Rienow

“Progress is dependent upon a productive and dynamic tension between institutionalism and insurrectionism. Insurrectionists keep our institutions honest. Insurrection us are stewards of our collective public life.”
Christopher Hayes, Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy

Elfriede Jelinek
“The moment workers can afford too little they rebel. The last time this was a real danger was 1950. Communists took advantage of supply problems and stirred up gullible people against their very own country.”
Elfriede Jelinek, Wonderful, Wonderful Times

Gary Reilly
“Late Friday morning I was driving toward Boulder. I was seated in "Doctor Lovebeads Cosmic Wonderbus and Mobile Mercantile." That entire phrase was painted in psychedelic colors on both sides of the van. But I left out the possessive apostrophe on "Lovebus[']" in order to show my contempt for bourgeois conformity.”
Gary Reilly, Doctor Lovebeads
