“Invisible connection is stronger than visible. To arrive at the basic structure of things we must go into their darkness.”

— Heraclitus

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”

“Justice does not require that men must stand idly by while others destroy the basis of their existence.” - John Rawls, A Theory of Justice

Dead Poets Society (1989) dir. Peter Weir

“It is an art of the most exquisite kind to touch someone’s soul before touching their skin.”

You should be outraged. You should be enraged and if you are not, if the senseless killing of the black community at the hands of our police force does not anger you please reevaluate your humanity.

To be unmoved by the current issues of our society is a privilege. To prioritize looting and damage to property over lost black lives and police brutality is to lack humanity.

Please evaluate and educate yourself, this is a major issue and we need serious reform and revolution in this country.

You can’t love the Romantics and academia and remain ignorant and complacent.

“I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they’re here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It’s like looking at all the students and wondering who’s had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.”
