I believe that magic is art, and that art, whether that be music, writing, sculpture, or any other form, is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness… Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change peoples consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a shaman.

He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Drive-in waiter:
May I take your order, please?

Dylan:

I’ll have three cheeseburgers, three french fries and three cherry pies.

To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women.

Dumplin', 2018
"I think you're beautiful. To hell with anyone else who ever made you feel less than that."

Dumplin', 2018

"This is our response to men on the street who call women “warda,” which is the Arabic word for "flower," and usually implies delicacy or vulnerability. The phrase “every rose has its thorn” has been transformed into “every rose has its ثورة,” which in Arabic means revolution to illustrate that women are not to be underestimated"

"Classic black tee featuring “Buried & Freed” to illuminate your resilience to speak out despite the societal norms constructed to keep you quiet. The design features poppy flowers, a favorite beauty in Palestinian Spring known for the way it grows in places once destroyed.

The custom of wa’d al-banat was first practiced in the pre-islamic era, when unwanted female infants were buried alive for the fear of dishonor. After the establishment of the Quran, the practice was condemned. While the practice itself is long-dead, it is metaphorically still alive as societal norms keep women from using their voices."

We came so close.

Carrie
It can still happen… One day. 

(…)

Brody
Whatever happens…

Carrie
It will!

Brody
This was love. You and me.

Carrie
But it’s not goodbye.

Brody
OK. 

Carrie
You don’t believe me?

Whatever hurts the least.

(Carrie starts to cry)

Oh my God… Why do I feel like this?

Because you gave it up to me.

Carrie
Completely.

Goodbye, love.

We know the road to freedom has always been stalked by death.

Belonging, Part I, Palestine, 2019

The food we eat masks so much cruelty. The fact that we can sit down and eat a piece of chicken without thinking about the horrendous conditions under which chickens are industrially bred in this country is a sign of the dangers of capitalism, how capitalism has colonized our minds. The fact that we look no further than the commodity itself, the fact that we refuse to understand the relationships that underly the commodities that we use on a daily basis. And so food is like that.

Angela Davis

The idea of freedom in inspiring. But what does it mean? If you are free in a political sense but have no food, what’s that? The freedom to starve?

Romeo and Juliet, 1968
Juliet:
Good night, good night! 
Parting is such sweet sorrow 
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.


Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, 1567

Romeo and Juliet, 1968
Juliet 
If they do see thee they will murder thee. 

 Romeo 
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye 
Than twenty of their swords. 
Look thou but sweet, 
And I am proof against their enmity. 
 

Juliet 
I would not for the world they saw thee here. 
 

Romeo
I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes, 
And but thou love me, let them find me here. 
My life were better ended by their hate 
Than death proroguèd, wanting of thy love.


Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, 1567

Romeo and Juliet, 1968
Romeo: 
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? 
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. 
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, 
Who is already sick and pale with grief, 
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. 
Be not her maid since she is envious. 
Her vestal livery is but sick and green, 
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!
It is my lady. Oh, it is my love. 
Oh, that she knew she were!


Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, 1567

Romeo and Juliet, 1968
Juliet:
My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathèd enemy.


Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, 1567


Romeo and Juliet, 1968
Juliet
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

Romeo
Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! 
Give me my sin again.


Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, 1567

Romeo and Juliet, 1968
I believe profoundly in the possibilities of democracy, but democracy needs to be emancipated from capitalism. As long as we inhabit a capitalist democracy, a future of racial equality, gender equality, economic equality will elude us.

Angela Davis
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

Frederick Douglass



13.2.19

When someone asks me about violence, I just find it incredible, because what it means is that the person who’s asking that question had absolutely no idea what black people have gone through, what black people have experienced in this country, since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa.

Angela Davis
Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.
