"Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages"
- Angela Davis (via socialjusticewarriorgirl)

"He is referring to the third eye, which enables one to see life beyond all false appearances, passions, and deaths. The virtues— humility, poverty, chastity, frugality— are required for this kind of vision, no longer as virtues that mutilate life, but as powers that penetrate it and become one with it. Spinoza did not believe in hope or even in courage; he believed only in joy, and in vision. He let others live, provided that others let him live. He wanted only to inspire, to waken, to reveal. The purpose of demonstration functioning as the third eye is not to command or even to convince, but only to shape the glass or polish the lens for this inspired free vision."

"
It is justifiable to regard the term ‘sickness’ as pertaining not to the acute turmoil but to the pre- psychotic personality, standing as it does in need of profound reorganization.
In this case, the renewal process occurring in the acute psychotic episode may be considered nature’s way of setting things right.
