Quotes by Max Cannon
The second we see somebody on the street or meet someone, we make snap judgments about them, about who they are and why we wouldn’t necessarily sit with them or why we would or what’s cool or not cool.
But if I’m going to cause somebody else discomfort by my actions, then I should probably modify my actions toward them to make them as comfortable as possible.
Yeah, I don’t deal with current events or pop culture, and I avoid politics like the plague.
I grew up in a military family, and there’s something about that military-style uniform, all cleaned up, a brutal control effort the military necessarily breeds.
