“I suppose I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.”
― Tennessee Williams
“If we want to learn about our future, we should look at what we’re doing now.”
― Pema Chödrön
“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”
― Noam Chomsky
Bread for today, Beloveds:
In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper in the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.
— Howard Thurman
Bread for today, Beloveds:
"Talk is cheap...It is the way we organize and use our lives everyday that tells what we believe in."
~ Cesar Chavez
“What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority.”
― Molly Ivins
Bread for today, Beloveds:
You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Despair is a form of certainty, certainty that the future will be a lot like the present or decline from it. Optimism is similarly confident about what will happen. Both are grounds for not acting. Hope can be the knowledge that reality doesn't necessarily match our plans.
― Rebecca Solnit
Bread for today, Beloveds:
Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power — not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.
— bell hooks
Bread for today, Beloveds:
The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
— Howard Zinn
