For how very different a woman will look when she has happiness, when her beauty emanates from a sense of well-being or from knowing herself to be greatly loved. Even a plain woman will attract the eye if she is happy, while the most elaborately coiffed and bejeweled in a room, if she cannot summon contentment, will seem to be merely decorative.
— Anita Shreve, Fortune’s Rocks
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
SA-I-GU (April 29, 1992) Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys a community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. - Martin Luther King, Jr.View full size

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
— Max Ehrmann, “Desiderata”
