axetheivorytower: Safe abortions have always been available to the rich, Dan. You simply want to deny them to the poor, and if you succeed, poor woman will be forced to get them anyway. They’ll be forced into the alleys with hangers, plungers and vacuum cleaners, risking death or mutilation. But you’d like that, wouldn’t you, Dan? You sadistic, elitist, sexist, racist, anti-humanist pig! Saturday Night Live 3x18 This aired in 1978. Thirty-four years later, it’s still a fucking ~debate. axetheivorytower. freedom fighter news.

"My dear friends, your vote is precious; almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have to create a more perfect union.

Today it is unbelievable that there are Republican officials trying to stop some people from voting… I’ve seen this before. I’ve LIVED this before. Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every, American, to exercise their right to vote."

Rep. John Lewis, “We don’t want to go back” (via kateoplis)

"Why don’t you tell me that, ‘if the girl had been worth having she’d have waited for you?’”

“No, sir, the girl really worth having won’t wait for anybody."

Interviewer:Does something bother you? How can you write poetry if you are not bothered by something?
Leonard Cohen:When I get up in the morning... my real concern is to discover whether I'm in a state of grace. And if I make that investigation, and I discover that I am not in a state of grace, I try to go [back] to bed.
Interviewer:What do you mean by a state of grace?
Leonard Cohen:A state of grace is that kind of balance with which you ride the chaos that you find around you. It's not a matter of resolving the chaos--because there's something arrogant and warlike about putting the world in order--but having a kind of escape ski down over a hill, just going through the contours of the hill.
Interviewer:Oh, you have lost me!

2. Leonard Cohen was 33 when his first album was released

3. Marina Abramovic’s career as an independent artist wasn’t solidified until she was 42

4. Julia Child’s career started when she was 36

5. Van Gogh started drawing when he was 27

8. William S. Burroughs had his first novel published when he was 39
