“Prosperity is not hard-wired into human beings; it must be orchestrated and sustained by political leadership.”
Zachary D. Carter, The Price of Peace: Money, Democracy, and the Life of John Maynard Keynes

Susan Abulhawa
“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.”
Susan Abulhawa, Mornings in Jenin

Percy Bysshe Shelley
“Hence the vanity of translation; it were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its color and odor, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower—and this is the burden of the curse of Babel.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley, A Defence of Poetry and Other Essays

Richard Powers
“Buddhism, the Four Immeasurables. “There are four good things worth practicing. Being kind toward everything alive. Staying level and steady. Feeling happy for any creature anywhere that is happy. And remembering that any suffering is also yours.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment

“The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice, and individual liberty,”
Zachary D. Carter, The Price of Peace: Money, Democracy, and the Life of John Maynard Keynes
