Ralph Ellison quote: "America is woven of many strands. I would recognise them and..."
America is woven of many strands. I would recognise them and let it so remain. Our fate is to become one, and yet many. Ralph Ellison
When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others. Desmond Tutu
Never before did I realize that mental illness could have the aspect of power, power. Think of it: perhaps the more insane a man is, the more powerful he could become. Hitler an example. Fair makes the old brain reel, doesn't it? Ken Kesey
Paramahansa Yogananda quote: "Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how..."
