I think that just as we're in the nuclear era we're also in an era of non-violence. It's undefeatable.
Dorothy DayThank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.
Dorothy DayPoverty is a strange and elusive thing. ... I condemn poverty and I advocate it; poverty is simple and complex at once; it is a social phenomenon and a personal matter. Poverty is an elusive thing, and a paradoxical one. We need always to be thinking and writing about it, for if we are not among its victims its reality fades from us. We must talk about poverty because people insulated by their own comfort lose sight of it.
