Theodore Parker
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
Theodore Parker

Carl Sagan
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Robert F. Kennedy
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped.

Robert F. Kennedy

Martin Luther King Jr.
“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

William J. Barber II
“Not only must we know the arguments on all sides of any debate, we must also seriously consider the questions that are not being asked and their implications for everyone involved. My”
William J. Barber II, The Third Reconstruction: How a Moral Movement Is Overcoming the Politics of Division and Fear
