苦は楽の種
(struggle is the seed of joy)

— Japanese saying

Pilar: Everything that went before, all that stuff, that history -- the hell with it, right? ... Forget the Alamo.

— John Sayles

Lone Star

Ce que peut essentiellement un emancipe, c'est etre emancipateur: donner non pas la clef su savoir mais la conscience de ce que peut une intelligence quand elle se considere comme egale a toute autre et considere toute autre comme egale a la sienne...

— Jacques Ranciere

Le Maitre Ignorant

La democratie...est l'action qui sans cesse arrache aux gouvernements oligarchiques le monopole de la vie publique et a la richesse la toute-puissance sur les vies... Elle n'est portee par aucune necessite historique et n'en porte aucune. Elle n'est confiee qu'a la constance de ses propres actes.

— Jacques Ranciere

La Haine de la Democratie

La societe inegalitaire ne peut fonctionner que grace a une multitude de relations egalitaires.

— Jacques Ranciere

La Haine de la Democratie

Democracy is not a type of constitution nor a form of society. The people's power is not that of the population amassed, not that of the majority, not that of the working classes. It is simply the power that belongs to those who are no more entitled to govern than to be governed.

— Jacques Ranciere

La Haine de la Democratie

Pas de maitre qui ne s'endorme et ne risque ainsi de laisser filer son esclave, pas d'homme qui ne soit capable d'en tuer un autre, pas de force qui s'impose sans avoir a legitimer, a reconnaitre donc, pour que l'inegalite puisse fonctionner, une egalite irreductible.

— Jacques Ranciere

La Haine de la Democratie

Neither a servant nor a master I,
I take no sooner a large price than a small price, I will have my
own whoever enjoys me,
I will be even with you and you shall be even with me.

— Walt Whitman

A Song for Occupations

The learn'd, virtuous, benevolent, and the usual terms,
A man like me and never the usual terms.

— Walt Whitman

A Song for Occupations

Workmen and Workwomen!
Were all educations practical and ornamental well display'd out of
me, what would it amount to?
Were I as the head teacher, charitable proprietor, wise statesman,
what would it amount to?
Were I to you as the boss employing and paying you, would that satisfy you?

— Walt Whitman
