Pema Chödrön
“Just as a jewel that has been buried in the earth for a million years is not discolored or harmed, in the same way this noble heart is not affected by all of our kicking and screaming. The jewel can be brought out into the light at any time, and it will glow as brilliantly as if nothing has ever happened. No matter how committed we are to unkindness, selfishness, or greed, the genuine heart of bodhichitta cannot be lost. It is here that all lives, never marred and completely whole.”
Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Kaveh Akbar
“Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Noam Chomsky
“President Obama says: “Well let’s forget about the crimes that were committed, the invasion of Iraq, let’s just go on.” In others words, let’s continue the same way we’ve been proceeding. That’s the weapon of the powerful.”
Noam Chomsky, On Palestine

Kaveh Akbar
“just being perceived, all the time being perceived, was itself exhausting.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Jonathan Eig
“The racial condition … will never be settled right until a more friendly contact is made among the ministers of both races.”
Jonathan Eig, King: A Life
