Through this journal, we are inviting you into a new way of thinking and doing, one which begins with questioning everything we take for granted.
In particular, how we contribute – or think we contribute – to a better world. We will not have all the answers, but we want to ask better questions.
“The vicarious responsibility for things we have not done, this taking upon ourselves the consequences for things we are entirely innocent of, is the price we pay for the fact that we live our lives not by ourselves but among our fellow men, and that the faculty of action, which, after all, is the political faculty par excellence, can be actualized only as one of the many and manifold forces of human community.” — Hannah Arendt
“Let each person ready themselves for the worst–and best–that is yet to come: when the Leviathan falls, it will take down as much as it can with it. Its grip will tighten more than ever, so much that any sense of individual sovereignty will almost vanish.” — Farah El-Sharif
“I know that the houses have fallen. We entered the world in them, wonderfully sure, that they were more durable than ourselves.” — Hannah Arendt
“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.” — Arundhati Roy
“Either way, change will come. It could be bloody, or it could be beautiful. It depends on us.” ― Arundhati Roy
“Wherever they burn books, they will also, in the end, burn human beings.” — Heinrich Heine
“The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir.” ― Carl Sagan
