Throughout my life, I have devoted myself entirely to the struggle for the African people. I fought both against white domination and black domination. I honored the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all citizens live in harmony and have equal opportunities. This is the ideal for which I am ready to live and to which I aspire. But if it is necessary, I am prepared to die for this ideal.

The real mind is so rare and extraordinary that those of us who have good brains are constantly discriminated against by the stupid majority.

One of the drawbacks of the immateriality of the muses is that you cannot argue with the editor. Authors, people, have their own point of view. And all the writers were men, and they made them. And not just with God. And the Bible discriminates. The original sin is the woman's fault. The woman cut Samson's strand. The head of John the Baptist was also demanded by a woman. Read it again at your leisure. Women are worse enemies than the Egyptians and the Romans. It smells bad.

Money is the only human-created trust system that bridges any abyss and does not discriminate on the basis of religion or sex, race, age or sexual orientation. With money, people who don’t know each other and have no reason to trust each other can collaborate effectively.

Sapiens. A Brief History of Humanity

Decide what you want more - that people love you and praise you for being ugly with them, or to live in a new way, despite all the reproaches, criticisms and ridicules that will fall on you for it. If you wag in different directions, please both ours and yours, you will not go far ahead, and you will not please your former friends. Choose one of two things: either to be a reasonable and virtuous person, or to hear people say of you, “Oh, what a pleasant and glorious fellow!” If you prefer the approval of people, then pass all over to the other side - drunkenness, fornication and all kinds of debauchery, be a rag in the hands of others, do everything that people like - and you will get their approval - what you were looking for. Don’t forget to make a fool of yourself: this will especially please your friends.

In my opinion, the film is still about Freedom, as a historical drama, where a tangle of conformity and philosophy on the themes of religious systems slips. Dramatic. Ambiguous. Strong. Makes you think about your life too. I highly recommend it. It's not about rewards. The main thing is a thought, an idea clearly presented. 👍
