Book cover for The Fire Next Time
To defend oneself against a fear is simply to insure that one will, one day, be conquered by it; fears must be faced.

Mahatma Gandhi
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Thomas Merton
“Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.”
Thomas Merton

George Orwell
“Freedom of the Press,
if it means anything at all,
means the freedom
to criticize and oppose”
George Orwell

“I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing.”
Daniel Hillel

Jayne Anne Phillips
“The writer's first affinity is not to a loyalty, a tradition, a morality, a religion, but to life itself, and to its representation in language.”
Jayne Anne Phillips
