William L. Shirer
“It is true that he found in the German people, as a mysterious Providence and centuries of experience had molded them up to that time, a natural instrument which he was able to shape to his own sinister ends. But without Adolf Hitler, who was possessed of a demonic personality, a granite will, uncanny instincts, a cold ruthlessness, a remarkable intellect, a soaring imagination and—until toward the end, when, drunk with power and success, he overreached himself—an amazing capacity to size up people and situations, there almost certainly would never have been a Third Reich.”
William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany

“Our real journey in life is interior: it is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts.”
Sean Leary, The Words and Wisdom of Thomas Merton.

N.T. Wright
“The optimism of the early 1990s died on the killing fields of Kosovo, in the ruins of the World Trade Center and in the valleys of Afghanistan.”
N.T. Wright, Jesus and the Powers: Christian Political Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies

Brennan Manning
“It takes a profound conversion to accept the belief that God is tender and loves us just as we are, not in spite of our sins and faults, but with them. God does not condone or sanction evil, but he does not withhold his love because there is evil in us. The key to this understanding is the way we feel about ourselves. We cannot even stand or accept love from another human being when we do not love ourselves, much less believe or accept that God could possibly love us.6”
Brennan Manning, A Glimpse of Jesus: The Stranger to Self-Hatred

Jermaine  Fowler
“These concerns operate from an assumption that racial tensions come from discussion, rather than the conditions these discussions arise in response to. Instead of telling the truth about the foundations of racial power and how it exists in the present, young minds are taught a comforting narrative of national innocence.”
Jermaine Fowler, The Humanity Archive: Recovering the Soul of Black History from a Whitewashed American Myth
