Zaman Ali
“Whoever enforces equality itself brings inequality.”
― Zaman Ali, MORALITY An Individual Dilemma

“Don't apologize for not understanding. If you stop asking questions then you effectively kill your desire to know the unknown.”

Matthew Desmond
“The home is the center of life. It is a refuge from the grind of work, the pressure of school, and the menace of the streets. We say that at home, we can “be ourselves.” Everywhere else, we are someone else. At home, we remove our masks.

As we grow older, we hope to settle into a place to raise a family or pursue work. When we try to understand ourselves, we often begin by considering the kind of home in which we were raised.”
― Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Jonathan  Dunne
“Humanity must be cut to the ground and allowed to flourish once again”
― Jonathan Dunne, Finding Jesus
