"I've seen some of the so-called art coming from the new regime, and I understand why they're stealing everyone else's art. It's because they can't make it themselves. But then art is a prophet, prophets have souls, they have none, ergo they have no art." ~~ from '33 Place Brugmann' by Alice Austen

"Most European scientific explorers drew on indigenous information about plant and animal life, medicine, geology, geography and navigation, while taking full credit for their ‘original’ discoveries and proclaiming the supremacy of European thought over other knowledge systems. In this way, the European intellectual tradition became the measure of all knowledge, while other ways of knowing became downgraded as less valid, objective or true." -- from 'The Trembling Hand' by Mathelinda Nabugodi

In the days leading up to the release of Convergence of Connection, I've been posting "out of context quotes" from the series (to get people interested and/or excited).

I've not posted them here yet (I don't want to overwhelm you all), but today's quote is one of my favorites, so I'm sharing it with you. 💚
