Famous quotes containing the words system and/or memory:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“Everybodys an artist. Everybodys God. Its just that theyre inhibited. I believe in people so much that if the whole of civilization is burned so we dont have any memory of it, even then people will start to build their own art. It is a necessitya function. We dont need history.”
—Yoko Ono (b. 1933)
