“Often those that criticise others reveal what he himself lacks.”
Shannon L. Alder

“Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect" terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any "oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society.”
Theodore Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future

“When dealing with two faced people, it is difficult to know which face is uglier, the real one or the manufactured one.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

“A paradox is a storm that rains on itself.”

Bryanna Reid
“I can't stand snobs with impeccable taste. These people say: "I'd rather a good book than a shallow person". They could cry over the plight of a fictitious character but they shamelessly insult real people because real people are "shallow" and according to snobs these "shallow people" don't deserve to live.”
Bryanna Reid, Tight embrace of the Oak tree: Full version

Joris Luyendijk
“Moslims die hun politieke overtuigingen baseren op hun geloof zijn 'fundamentalisten', een Amerikaanse presidentskandidaat die zo met zijn religie omgaat, heet in de meeste westerse media 'evangelistisch' of 'diep gelovig'. Wint deze Amerikaan de verkiezingen, dan zegt bijna niemand dat het christendom 'oprukt', maar als moslims die hun politieke inspiratie uit de Koran halen hun zin krijgen, schrijft menige westerse commentator dat 'de islam in opmars' is. Raakt een Arabische leider in conflict met een westerse regering, dan is hij 'anti-westers'. Westerse regeringen zijn nooit 'anti-arabisch'.”

Mango Wodzak
“If factory farming for meat of cats, dogs, squirrels, swans and guinea pigs began in western Europe, you can be sure some of the bacon and sausage gorging public would be out protesting. Although other cultures regularly eat some or all of these animals, everybody draws the line somewhere. Most would balk at the idea of eating dolphin, gorilla, orangutan or human flesh, but really the differences between the species are minimal and whether we are a rabbit, horse, chimpanzee or human, we all have an innate desire to live our lives freely and avoid violation.”

Bangambiki Habyarimana
“We are moved by self-interest, even when we seek to do good to others.”
Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom

Hillary Jordan
“She wondered how many of them were liars; their outer purity masking crimes as dark or darker than her own. How many would be chromes themselves, if the truth in their hearts were revealed.”
Hillary Jordan, When She Woke

“There is a very fine line (almost transparent), between cordiality and hypocrisy--knowing to distinguish them is a gift of Gods.”
Efrat Cybulkiewicz

Abby Rosmarin
“We’re all looking for a bit of recognition, even if it’s the unconscious and hypocritical need for attention over the fact that we’re not publically seeking out attention.”
Abby Rosmarin, I'm Just Here for the Free Scrutiny: One Model's Tale of Insanity and Inanity in the Wonderful World of Fashion

Mango Wodzak
“I've seen cases on the Internet, of a dog being locked in a car for several hours and comments from people so enraged, that they threaten physical violence toward the perpetrator; some even crying out for the owners to be faced with the death penalty! These self same people will likely not think twice about the animals on their plates. In fact, they usually react more strongly toward such events (dogs locked in cars) than do most vegans. The often unconsidered, deep seated reasoning behind their indignation, is to draw away attention from their own wrong doings toward animals, and focus it elsewhere. If they shout loud enough, perhaps people won't notice that they themselves, are behind far worse animal treatment!”

Stewart Stafford
“When the condemned man saw the gallows, he knew the hypocrisy of life was over and that lies would serve him no more. He mumbled some defeated truths and left this world. The spectators were aghast and fascinated as the body swung and was still. They went about their business.”
Stewart Stafford

Criss Jami
“Speculation, movements having abandoned rational thought, echo chambers, projection, hypocrisy by little to no self-awareness, bewildering minds brainwashed and manipulative hearts manipulated - one is sure to find these à la people cock-sure in their biased and fanatical, immovable despising of persons. We would all do well to humbly re-think from time to time: 'Whom do I really hate? For what purpose?”
Criss Jami, Healology

Jen Calonita
“Who are you going to believe, son? Me or this mortal?"
Meg's eyes flashed. "I'm not the one who let his own child be stolen while he slept."
The minute the comment left her lips, she knew she'd gone too far.
The other gods quickly began to dissipate. Hera stayed put, but Meg wondered if she was in shock.
Zeus's face turned almost purple as he seemingly grew three times his size. Behind him, the sky darkened like an approaching thunderstorm and lightning bolts crisscrossed the sky. Hercules instinctively stepped in front of Meg, putting one hand on her arm, but she nudged it away. She'd lived with Hades. She wasn't afraid to stand up to Zeus.
"You dare question my judgment, Megara?" Zeus thundered as the storm clouds rolled in around him. Lightning crashed dangerously close to where she and Hercules were standing. "You, the woman who worked to keep my son from completing his quest?"
On second thought, maybe she should be a little afraid of Zeus. Especially now that she realized he was well aware of what she had done.”
Jen Calonita, Go the Distance

Kate   Young
“I hate to burst your bubble about that guy, but he probably isn't what he seems. What do you really know about him? Nothing, right?"
I matched his posture. "I know enough to say he isn't a killer! And someone is using him as leverage, and I won't let him end up dead. And right back atcha, buddy. What did you know about Lucy? Obviously, not nearly enough and you married her.”
Kate Young, Southern Sass and a Battered Bride

“So many claim holy purity
Whilst dipping their toes into forbidden infernos
Hidden shame haunts their purity cloak
Still smoldering from their last inquisition
Both 'purity' and 'forbidden' serve as their internal partition
Declaring both Heaven and Hell are within them.

Deanna Lawlis”

“White Americans, what?
Nothing better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too?”
