“They were there because I had declared that homosexuals' civil rights had been infringed by society, and advocated that their equality with heterosexuals be supported by the laws. The Boston gay militants were only showing their approval, although I could have wished they were not camping it up quite so flagrantly. But I was delighted with the expressions on the audience's faces, and I gave the young man a cordial greeting. It did not end there; for the rest of the afternoon, as we went on to a rally outdoors near a large housing project, the gays appointed themselves my advance men; voters' mouths hung open as they were handed literature by men in drag who urged, "Vote for Shirley on Tuesday!”
Shirley Chisholm, The Good Fight

“But belief in the right of another to hold and publicly advocate the contrary point of view without having his motives impugned and his character maligned seems to me to be a fundamental tenet of our political system. This tolerance and mutual respect is fundamental to democracy's survival.”
Shirley Chisholm, The Good Fight

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“My God, a moment of bliss. Why, isn't that enough for a whole lifetime?”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights

Haruki Murakami
“For both of us, it had simply been too enormous an experience. We shared it by not talking about it. Does this make any sense?”
Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“The decline of civility and the mounting crudeness of language in our public life could also be another reason for the disgust of people with politicians and government officials and the contempt manifested toward them. The consequences for public debate and the rational, civilized conduct of public affairs are grave. This collapse in communication is terribly sad.”
Shirley Chisholm, The Good Fight
