    I have to mention my favorite deathbed quote, as Voltaire already got dropped. there are a few different accounts of his last words, but by far the best is apparently when the priest doing the last rites asked if he would like to renounce Satan, he said,"now is not the time for making enemies." but in French, then he died.

    Karl Marx, who whatever you may think of his work and legacy, I feel could safely be described someone who liked to think a lot about shit, and his deathbed words were... in German to his housekeeper who didn't speak it.

    But my actual favorite quote, I even have a Pinterest level tattoo of it on my wrist over some faded but always there history is from Slaughterhouse Five, "So it goes."

    It's a joke.. Cronenberg (probably) never said that, though he could have if you look at his work.. anyhow he certainly fried some of my brain cells at a very young age with The fly lol

    We tend to determine success by the size of our salaries or the size of our cars
    rather than by the degree of our helpfulness and the measure of our humanity.
    Martin Luther King

    „There are no internal or external checks on the deep state. The democratic institutions, including the press, that once gave citizens a voice and a say in the exercise of power have been neutered. The deep state will further the corporate consolidation of wealth and power, expand the social inequality that has thrust half of Americans into poverty or near poverty, strip us of our remaining civil liberties and feed the rapacious appetites of the military and the war industry.“
    - Chris Hedges

    „We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.“
    - Chris Hedges

    „The relationship between those who are constantly watched and tracked and those who watch and track them is the relationship between masters and slaves.“
    - Chris Hedges

    It is bad to live in a country where there is no humor. But it is even worse to live in a country where humor is needed.
    Bertolt Brecht

    Who does not know the truth, he is only a fool. But he who knows it and calls it a lie is a criminal!
    Bertolt Brecht

    Whoever fights can lose. He who does not fight has already lost.
    Bertolt Brecht

    Love is the desire to give, not to receive.

    I would never call Bukowski a simian. I would take a statement like that as an insult to the entire species of the higher primate.
