Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

The most common response I get as an Irish- American is "we did it legally" and then they have absolutely no interest in learning about historical trends in immigration. Ellis Island had a checkbox for stowaways and they think they're the product of some highly vetted process.

This is why we have rescue cats in our house.
If you had to take care of humans, it was better to take care of small soft ones who were nice to you and thought you were great because you kept preventing them from being murdered.

My grandmother travelled the world in her later life and would always keep some cash pinned inside her bra in case her purse was snatched. She called it “the bank of America”
I've no idea why one end of the gusset on knickers isn't sewn shut but it's dead useful. When I worked a market stall I'd pop into the loos at the end of the day and put a roll of £50 notes in there for safe keeping on my way home.

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.
