“[A]ll forms of society consider themselves the perfect one. And it is this dogma of perfection that obstructs the restless rebel who refuses to bow to its new god... [..] I am guided only by the tremendous and unstoppable impulse of MY desire to expand the force of my own will. I am not guided by phantoms, I do my own walking: it is not the illusion of a perfect society or the universal redemption of humanity, but the absolute need to affirm my potential in spite of all other forces.”
— Toward the Creative Nothing, Renzo Novatore
“It’s a verb! It’s a verb! / Freedom is a verb! / Something never finished, never done! / It’s something you must make / It’s something you must take / It’s something you must constantly become [..]
Well they’ll tell you that your liberty / Is constantly in jeopardy / It’s something you must loyally defend / But isn’t it demeaning / When your well-intended meanings / Mean your means will have to justify your ends!”
— “Freedom Is A Verb,” Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird
