hello worlds!
Nice job, Ms Knobler! Love, your mom
oops.
"At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love." -Ernesto "Che" Guevara
ah. there we go.
while i'm at it, here's another one!
"He who passively accepts evil is just as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it."
i've been thinking about those quotes and loving them a lot.
The quote Olivia posted:
"He who passively accepts evil is just as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it."
is very profound and often true. It also reminded me of this quote from Voltaire:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

i encourage all of you to go look at that picture. it is a closeup of a t-shirt. this isn't the only shirt i've seen that says this phrase.
and on the website it is a woman wearing the shirt.
now. . . picture a t-shirt for men that says "women are hoes" (clearly playing on the word ho) and had a picture of the gardening tool above the phrase. . .
I 100% honestly do not think that people would freak out about the "men are pigs" shirt, but people would make a big deal out of the "women are hoes" shirt. . . It is hard for me to understand why.
While we're on the topic of leaving quotes, I'll leave one that I think relates to everyone:
"Life is far too serious to be taken seriously"
-Oscar Wilde
and this one by the same author:
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"
Oh, and for Ms. Knobler, this is what I've been meaning to show you:
