Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease.

My name is Valerie, I don't think I'll live much longer and I wanted to tell someone about my life. This is the only autobiography ill ever write, and god, I'm writing it on toilet paper. I was born in Nottingham in 1985, I don't remember much of those early years, but I do remember the rain. My grandmother owned a farm in Tuttlebrook, and she use to tell me that god was in the rain. I passed my 11th lesson into girl's grammar; it was at school that I met my first girlfriend, her name was Sara. It was her wrists. They were beautiful. I thought we would love each other forever. I remember our teacher telling us that is was an adolescent phase people outgrew. Sara did, I didn't. In 2002 I fell in love with a girl named Christina. That year I came out to my parents. I couldn't have done it without Chris holding my hand. My father wouldn't look at me, he told me to go and never come back. My mother said nothing. But I had only told them the truth, was that so selfish? Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. I'd always known what I wanted to do with my life, and in 2015 I starred in my first film, "The Salt Flats". It was the most important role of my life, not because of my career, but because that was how I met Ruth. The first time we kissed, I knew I never wanted to kiss any other lips but hers again. We moved to a small flat in London together. She grew Scarlet Carsons for me in our window box, and our place always smelled of roses. Those were there best years of my life. But America's war grew worse, and worse. And eventually came to London. After that there were no roses anymore. Not for anyone. I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like collateral and rendition became frightening. While things like Norse Fire and The Articles of Allegiance became powerful, I remember how different became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much. They took Ruth while she was out buying food. I've never cried so hard in my life. It wasn't long till they came for me.It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years, I had roses, and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you. -Valerie” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Alan Moore, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_5805> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/392838">V for Vendetta</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/316463-i-know-there-s-no-way-i-can-convince-you-this">479 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class='action'> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> </div> <div class='quote'> <div class='quoteDetails'> <div class="quoteText"> “Love your rage, not your cage.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Alan Moore, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_5805> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/392838">V for Vendetta</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/502459-love-your-rage-not-your-cage">454 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class='action'> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> </div> <div class='quote'> <div class='quoteDetails'> <div class="quoteText"> “God is in the rain.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Alan Moore, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_5805> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/392838">V for Vendetta</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/41264-god-is-in-the-rain">446 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class='action'> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> </div> <div class='quote'> <div class='quoteDetails'> <div class="quoteText"> “They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Alan Moore, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_5805> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/392838">V for Vendetta</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/377903-they-say-that-life-s-a-game-then-they-take">419 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class='action'> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> </div> <div class='quote'> <div class='quoteDetails'> <div class="quoteText"> “Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Alan Moore, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_5805> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/392838">V for Vendetta</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/anarchism">anarchism</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/politics">politics</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/revolution">revolution</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/423642-our-masters-have-not-heard-the-people-s-voice-for-generations">404 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class='action'> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> </div> <div class='quote'> <div class='quoteDetails'> <div class="quoteText"> “Evey Hammond: Who are you? <br />V: Who?

You've been in a prison all your life. Happiness is a prison, Evey. Happiness is the most insidious prison of all. Your lover lived in the penitentiary that we are all born into, and was forced to rake the dregs of that world for his living. He knew affection and tenderness but only briefly. Eventually, one of the other inmates stabbed him with a cutlass and he drowned upon his own blood. Is that it, Evey? Is that the happiness worth more than freedom? It's not an uncommon story, Evey. Many convicts meet with miserable ends. Your mother. Your father. Your lover. One by one, taken out behind the chemical sheds... and shot. All convicts, hunched and deformed by the smallness of their cells, the weight of their chains, the unfairness of their sentences. I didn't put you in a prison, Evey. I just showed you the bars.'<br />'You're wrong! It's just life, that's all! It's just how life is. It's what we've got to put up with. It's all we've got. What gives you the right to decide it's not good enough?'<br />'You're in a prison, Evey. You were born in a prison. You've been in a prison so long, you no longer believe there's a world outside. That's because you're afraid, Evey. You're afraid because you can feel freedom closing in upon you. You're afraid because freedom is terrifying. Don't back away from it, Evey. Part of you understands the truth even as part pretends not to. You were in a cell, Evey. They offered you a choice between the death of your principles and the death of your body. You said you'd rather die. You faced the fear of your own death and you were calm and still. The door of the cage is open, Evey. All that you feel is the wind from outside.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Alan Moore, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_5805> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/392838">V for Vendetta</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/happiness">happiness</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/341110-you-were-already-in-a-prison-you-ve-been-in-a">236 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class='action'> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> </div> <div class='quote'> <div class='quoteDetails'> <div class="quoteText"> “Anarchy wears two faces, both creator and destroyer.
