Justice is what love looks like in public.

None of us alone can save the nation or the world. But each of us can make a positive difference if we commit ourselves to do so. (p. 109)

We have a market-driven society so obsessed with buying and selling and obsessed with power and pleasure and property, it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for non-market values and non-market activity so that love and trust and justice, concern for the poor, that's being pushed to the margins, and you can see it.

Once you begin to talk about wealth inequality, especially as it relates to corporations and big banks, or engage in an indictment of U.S. foreign policy, you are really getting at the center of a society that is very fearful of that kind of critique.

The courage to be is the most difficult thing for any human being.

Anger can be a bitterness that devours your soul while righteous indignation is morally driven, it's ethically driven.

Profound music leads us beyond language...to the dark roots of our scream and the celestial heights of our silence.
