Gautama Buddha
“To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
Gautama Buddha

Erich Fromm
“When Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared, both theoretically and practically. They were unable to believe that man could exhibit such propensities for evil, such lust for power, such disregard for the rights of the weak, or such yearning for submission. Only a few had been aware of the rumbling of the volcano preceding the outbreak.”
Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom

“Many believers use truth as a license to righteously diminish others’ reputations.”
R. Kent Hughes, Disciplines of a Godly Man

Louise Glück
Snowdrops

Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.

I did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. I didn’t expect
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, remembering
after so long how to open again
in the cold light
of earliest spring—

afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy

in the raw wind of the new world.”
Louise Glück, Poems, 1962-2012
