They will never allow us to bring about genuine change. Audre Lorde
Ram Dass quote: "It's very different because the Indians live as if they are..."
It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos. Ram Dass
In practice we always base our preparations against an enemy on the assumption that his plans are good; indeed, it is right to rest our hopes not on a belief in his blunders, but on the soundness of our provisions. Nor ought we to believe that there is much difference between man and man, but to think that the superiority lies with him who is reared in the severest school. Thucydides
