James Baldwin
“Love has never been a popular movement. And no one's ever wanted, really, to be free. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course, you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person. You could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide, in yourself, not to be.”
― James Baldwin

Paulo Freire
“If the structure does not permit dialogue the structure must be changed”
― Paulo Freire

Leonard Cohen
“so much of the world is plunged in darkness and chaos...

So ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
― Leonard Cohen

J. Krishnamurti
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
― J. Krishnamurti

Louise Glück
“We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.”
― Louise Gluck
