Italo Calvino

It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders... Carl Sagan
I, the man of color, want only this: That the tool never possess the man. That the enslavement of man by man cease forever. That is, of one by another. That it be possible for me to discover and to love man, wherever he may be. Frantz Fanon
I think that knowledge enslaves us, that at the base of all knowledge there is a servility, the acceptation of a way of life wherein each moment has meaning only in relation to another or others that will follow it. Georges Bataille
Kary Mullis quote: "Law shuttles between freeing us and enslaving us."
Law shuttles between freeing us and enslaving us. Kary Mullis
There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him. Henry Miller
One hundred years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, the Spanish government issued a decree authorizing the enslavement of the American Indian as in accord with the law of God and man. Nelson A. Miles
Victor Hugo quote: "Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry,..."
Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter. Victor Hugo
I appeal to you, my friends, as mothers: are you willing to enslave your children? You stare back with horror and indignation at such questions. But why, if slavery is not wrong to those upon whom it is imposed? Angelina Grimke
Many people on the political left found my work psychologically liberating. They began to say: once you realize that standards emerge historically, then you can see through and discard all the norms to which we have been falsely enslaved. Stanley Fish
