"In order to break the governmental relationship of obedience, the individual must withdraw her consent to be ‘conducted like that’. To do so, as we have seen, she has to contest and detach from the form of subjectivity that these specific govenmental techniques and a specific regime of truth aim at constituting and imposing on her. But contesting the form of subjectivity that is imposed on individuals in order to build another subjectivity is not an easy task''.
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
