Susan Sontag Quotes

Again: there is nothing inherently superior about resistance. All our claims for the righteousness of resistance rest on the rightness of the claim that the resisters are acting in the name of justice.

It depends first and last on the truth of a description of a state of affairs that is, truly, unjust and unnecessary.

Susan Sontag
