“The large rooms of which you are so proud are in fact your shame. They are big enough to hold crowds—and also big enough to shut out the voice of the poor....

“What keeps you from giving now? Isn't the poor person there? Aren't your own warehouses full? Isn't the reward promised? The command is clear: the hungry person is dying now, the naked person is freezing now, the person in debt is beaten now-and you want to wait until tomorrow? "I'm not doing any harm," you say. "I just want to keep what I own, that's all." You own! You are like someone who sits down in a theater and keeps everyone else away, saying that what is there for everyone's use is your own...If everyone took only what they needed and gave the rest to those in need, there would be no such thing as rich and poor. After all, didn't you come into life naked, and won't you return naked to the earth?
The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry person; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the person who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the person with no shoes; the money which you put in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help, but fail to help. —Basil, fourth century.”
― Thomas O'Gorman, Advent Sourcebook

“The court and council could’ve prevented this all with their money and resources, but instead they had opted to save themselves and their power every single time. If they had put their minds to it, they could’ve saved everyone. They could’ve been heroes, but they wouldn’t have been rich. They would rather kill everyone than give up even a pinch of power.”
― Linsey Miller, What We Devour

“In his Gettysburg Address in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln spoke about “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Well, today, we have a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class, for the billionaire class.”
― Bernie Sanders
