“Intolerance blooms in the soil of our faulty logic.”
Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, The Mattering Instinct: How Our Deepest Longing Drives Us and Divides Us

Thomas Paine
“Europe, and not England, is the parent country of America. This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from EVERY PART of Europe.

Thomas Paine, Common Sense

Thomas Paine

Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, The Mattering Instinct: How Our Deepest Longing Drives Us and Divides Us

“the reality was that I was caged in by that hedge and living off taxpayers’ money.”
