This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.” ~ Hunter S. Thompson When was the last time you took a…

Even though it is not surprising that women were not seen as being…

At some point, especially now at this age, we decide to evaluate our lives. What do we want? What are our plans? What are our desires?

In We, Yevgeny Zamyatin creates a mathematical world. The One State is built on math and logic where people are numbers not names.
