“It's not fair. It's not equal. You have to let things go, over and over and over again. But it's mine, and it's important, and I'm doing what I can.”

“Conformist thinking is self-defeating because it knows only the categories of punishment and submission, but not the potential that lies in understanding. The image of the enemy must be maintained at all costs; for this reason, the "enemy" must never be humanized. Both the revolutionary and the conformist depend on the image of the enemy; they need it in order to rationalize their violence to maintain their positions.”

“А ми все дивуємося: звідки що взялося? Майдан? Повстання? Хто б міг подумати! І все тому, що ми нічого не знаємо про власних предків. Ми всі народилися ідеологічними та культурними сиротами.”

“Vandalism Ain't Activism (The Sonnet)
Systemic change is a slow and tedious process,
It doesn't happen overnight by vandalizing society.
If vandalism and activism were one and the same,
Our jungly ancestors would've been the ideal humanity.
Change habits, change yourself, submit to no primitivity,
The change that you dream of, be the epitome of that change.
Obstructing traffic and refusing to let an ambulance pass,
You're not fighting any crisis, but being a crisis yourself.
Go fly a kite, it is good for the mind as well as body,
Get lessons on common sense before appointing yourself king.
The line between activism and terrorism is so thin that,
Often many go astray without having the slightest inkling.
I repeat, systemic change is a slow and tedious process.
The more you rush with recklessness, the more you digress.”

“Inciting Justice by Stewart Stafford
They stretched his neck out,
On the noose of his ancestors,
Bloodied and tattered, he died,
No invader fealty in martyr veins.
The rope, a country's pendulum,
Faces of stone from onlookers,
A witch-hunt's hysteria spreads,
Mourner's rain fell with temerity.
A snowball in a regime's eyes now,
Is the next day's roaring avalanche,
More then take up arms to fight on,
And raise the oppressor's gauntlet.

“Tanah ini adalah darah dan napas kita. Tanah ini ialah mata pencarian kita. Selama ini dia menghidupi kita yang miskin dan menyumpal perut kita dengan tanaman yang ia tumbuhkan di atasnya. Bukan mereka. Siapa mereka itu? Siapa kita ini? Apakah kita dianggap dan diperhitungkan di negeri ini? Kita tak lebih dari sampah yang diinjak-injak dan disingkirkan.”

“To be a killjoy is often to be assigned as being emotional, too emotional; letting your feelings get in the way of your judgment; letting your feelings get in the way. Your feelings can be the site of a rebellion. A feminist heart beats the wrong way; feminism is hearty.”

“The Straw Dolls by Stewart Stafford
After surrender's pin-drop grief,
Came a nihilistic jackboot slope,
Replaced with twisting blades,
As you dangle on a slippery rope.
Everything secure now ashes,
A blind road ahead lies shunning,
Every pillar of society smashed,
In whipped despotic slumming.
Fleeting daydreams of rebellion,
They'll cut those ideas from you,
Violence begetting violence now,
The bloodied crown turned blue.

“Once- long ago and for millennia before that- we had been slaves to High Fae overlords. Once, we had built them glorious, sprawling civilisations from our blood and sweat, built them temples to their feral gods. Once, we had rebelled, across every land and territory. The War had been so bloody, so destructive, that it took six mortal queens crafting the Treaty for the slaughter to cease on both sides and for the wall to be constructed: the North of our world conceded to the High Fae and faeries, who took their magic with them; the South to we cowering mortals, forever forced to scratch out a living from the earth.”

“The edge between love and hate is honed finer than the keenest fletchett. She told me something like that, once, but I dared not think on such things, with her name so close to my tongue. She told me too that it was not my acquiescence that interested her, but my rebellion. That was the thing that set her apart from the others, who failed to see where it lay.
That was the thing that terrified me.
-Chapter 67”

“Many a time I have
made a comparison between nobility of sacrifice and happiness of
rebellion to find out which one is nobler and more beautiful; but until
now I have distilled only one truth out of the whole matter, and this
truth is sincerity, which makes all our deeds beautiful and
honourable.”

“There are 2 types of revolutionaries: those bred through a rich education, and those bred through a poor education. But there is truly only one revolution, and that is of a populace fed up.”

“Some days, it feels like my destiny is not of my own choosing.
I move forward one day, and get pushed back another.
I try to resist, but only get pushed back harder.
Each new step becomes a challenge, every choice a question.
I’m equipped. I’ve prepared for this. For the moment when, maybe, I’ll be pushed to my limits.”

“If everything is preordained, then isn’t the choice we made that day part of our fate? Is free will not part of an already written script that we unknowingly act out even in our rebellion?”
