“God's will is often not done. We despoil rivers and lakes. We pollute land and air. We drive species into extinction. Given time we can do worse - or we can, by God's grace, do better. The late Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971), who was a wiser theologian than Senator Inhofe, urged us to pray for "the wisdom to distinguish between those things that can and those things that cannot be changed and for the courage to change those things that should be changed". Certainly the distinction between those things that can and those things that cannot be changed is an important part of the understanding scientists seek. What we all need is the courage to change those things that should be changed.”

“Courage is the name of the topological burning up of places and of interests, inasmuch as it is subordinated to the gesture of opening oneself up to becoming 'the most exposed', which is what allows one to 'sustain oneself'. ... This is because courage, the burnt precipitation (one has 'fired one's last rounds') in the excess over the place, promptly recomposes - beyond the destruction that it is - the subjective process of justice.”

“Ain't No Coward (Sonnet 1137) Praying to be saved from danger, Ain't no spineless coward I. Let all the dangers hail my way, Each crisis is like a trip to Hawaii. Won't listen to no forbiddance, Won't heed no foreboding. None can sense the extent of my senses, Night and day are my own making. When all are eager for the sun to rise, I grab the night and conjure up dawn. Leave no corner of mindland unharvested, Struggle isn't over till gloom turns to morn.”
