Conversely, if you get 1 percent worse each day for one year, you’ll decline nearly down to zero.
What starts as a small win or a minor setback accumulates into something much more.
James Clear, Atomic Habits

Where love rules, there is no will to power;
And where power predominates, love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other.

“Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that – I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much – so very much to learn.”

"Terrible things are happening outside… poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."
"What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again."
~ Anne Frank

"When a comm builds atop a fault line, do you blame its walls when they inevitably crush the people inside? No; you blame whoever was stupid enough to think they could defy the laws of nature forever. Well, some worlds are built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares. Don’t lament when those worlds fall. Rage that they were built doomed in the first place."
— N. K. Jemisin: The Stone Sky
"Built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares" could be the historical footnote for this era of capitalist imperialism. Could also be the official tagline for the USA.
