Quotes

Waiting for power to move to its inevitable collapse is suicidal for all concerned. Blacks and other Third World peoples have the very imminent prospect of genocidal tactics to contend with, and we can now all see that the modern industrial state, motivated by exclusive groups of capitalist masters, cannot regulate itself to make possible an inclusive production and distribution of goods, or production without a massive waste of resources and destruction of all that stands about. The debate ends, the action begins. It is not question of the necessity of violence, but of how to organize it.
- George L. Jackson, Blood in My Eye (1971), p. 51

waiting dulls the senses
and when you are no longer waiting,
something wakes up.
- Naomi Shihab Nye Voices in the Air: Poems for Listeners (2018)
