Some seventeenth-century writers estimated that barely one in 500, or even one in 1,000, lived to be sixty.

NOTES, p. 335

in New York Times: book review of Deepti Kapoor's AGE OF VICE

People say the two saddest words in the English language are “What party?” But “planned trilogy” cannot be far behind.

Fred Hampton quote

“We don’t think you fight fire with fire best; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity.”

SPLINTERLANDS by John Feffer

 ...physicians can't operate on themselves, therapists can't cure their own neuroses, and intellectuals are blind to the very knowledge that can set then free.

p. 7, Introduction

Empires, like adolescents, think they'll live forever. In geopolitics, as in biology, expiration dates are never visible. As a result, it can be hard to distinguish growing pains from death rattles. When the end comes, it's always a shock.

p. 14-15, Chapter 1
