“A mente absorta, sob a forma de mente divagante, poderá ser a maior fonte de desperdício da atenção no local de trabalho. O foco da nossa experiência no aqui e agora – como a tarefa em mãos, a conversa que estamos a ter, ou chegar a consenso numa reunião – exige que desliguemos a lógica do «tudo a meu respeito» de coisas mentais irrelevantes para aquilo que se passa no presente.”

“A mentor and friend once said to me, If there is someone who is both activist and contemplative and who does both well, I have not yet met them. I silently accepted the challenge. He was articulating a very credible tension between the heart of the contemplative and the heart of the activist. At first strike, they appear inherently in conflict. The contemplative, some pillar of stillness, tasked with thinking and asking enduring questions that require a kind of slowness and pause. The activist, a beacon for the movement, committed to the doing of justice and mercy—not later but now, which does, as the name suggests, require action.
But what if what we take as stillness is not always inactivity as we perceive it? Can there be a form of contemplation that is at once stillness and movement? Some might say the beginnings of Christian monasticism were, in part, a defiant protest against the elitism and centering of the upper class in the faith.
And today, activism tells the truth about what is and imagines what should be. This imagination for justice requires contemplation.”

“A menudo es la ausencia de bendición — la ausencia de la afirmación de la identidad y el destino — lo que deja a la persona abierta a la esclavitud de los espíritus malignos. Por lo tanto, llenar el vacío puede requerir palabras inspiradas de afirmación, aceptación y confianza de que ella cumplirá el plan especial de Dios para su vida. Alguien que no ha sido afirmado en su identidad puede necesitar mucho tiempo en la comunidad de creyentes para dejar lo viejo y abrazar su nueva identidad en Cristo. Es posible que una persona no esté lista para asumir la responsabilidad de su vida antes de la liberación.”

“A menudo leemos las normas de género como algo dado, previo al funcionamiento del sistema socioeconómico, con lo que no entendemos el proceso performativo de imposición y recreación de la normalidad hegemónica. Así, no vemos las ocasiones en las que la norma se rompe, ni nos preguntamos cómo esto es castigado. Pero si no entendemos cómo se reconstruye la norma, no entendemos las resistencias y rupturas; si no entendemos las resistencias, difícilmente podremos impulsarlas.”

“A menudo me pregunto por qué nos gustan unas personas y no otras. Y sobre este tema tengo mi propia teoría: existe una forma armónica e ideal a la que de manera instintiva tiende nuestro cuerpo. Escogemos en los otros aquellos rasgos que podrían cumplir con ese ideal. El objetivo de la evolución es meramente estético y nada tiene que ver con ninguna adaptación. A la evolución lo que le interesa es la belleza, alcanzar la máxima perfección de cada forma”

“A menudo se usa la historia como una serie de cuentos morales para aumentar la solidaridad de grupo o, cosa más defendible, según mi punto de vista, para explicar el desarrollo de instituciones importantes como los parlamentos y conceptos como la democracia y de ese modo la enseñanza del pasado se ha convertido en algo fundamental a la hora de debatir la forma de inculcar y trasmitir valores. El peligro es que ese objetivo, que puede ser admirable, acabe por distorsionar la historia, ya sea convirtiéndola en un relato simplista en el cual sólo hay blanco y negro, o bien representándola como si todo tendiese hacia una sola dirección, ya sea el progreso humano o el triunfo de un grupo en particular. La historia explicada de este modo aplana la complejidad de la experiencia humana y no deja espacio para las distintas interpretaciones del pasado.”
