“In capitalism economic activity, success, material gains, become ends in themselves. It becomes man’s fate to contribute to the growth of the economic system, to amass capital, not for purposes of his own happiness or salvation; but as an end in itself. Man became a cog in the vast economic machine—an important one if he had much capital, an insignificant one if he had none—but always a cog to serve a purpose outside of himself. This readiness for submission of one’s self to extra-human ends was actually prepared by Protestantism, although nothing was further from Luther's or Calvin’s mind than the approval of such supremacy of economic activities. But in their theological teaching they had laid the ground for this development by breaking man’s spiritual backbone, his feeling of dignity and pride, by teaching him that activity had no further aims outside himself.”

“In carrying out his mandate, it is evident that, in addition to being a man of prayer, Dr. King was a contemplative, Dr. Ruth Haley Barton, founder of the Transforming Center, affirmed the inclusion of contemplation and prayerfulness in his life when, in honor of Martin Luther King Day in January 2010, she wrote that Dr. King’s “life was characterized by a powerful integration of prayer and contemplation with a profound commitment to decisive and loving action in the world.’ Barton’s insight is extremely valuable in the discussion of the power of prayer and spiritual direction from an African American perspective. In identifying Dr. King as a man of contemplative action, she included a clear definition of that term:
‘Contemplative action is action that emerges from our real encounters with God. It is doing what God calls us to do when he calls us to do it - no matter how afraid we are or how ill-equipped we feel. Contemplative action is the willingness to go beyond being primarily concerned for our own safety and survival to the place where we know that our real life is hidden with Christ in God no matter what happens to our physical life. Contemplative action is doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right Spirit, completely given over to a Power that is beyond our own - even, and perhaps most especially, when the risks are very great.
This kind of action is impossible without being radically in touch with the Source of our life through prayer and contemplation.”

“In casa mia c’è un regime di non belligeranza e indifferenza reciproca, io sono diventata la figlia a carico che non produce, non moltiplica, non incassa, non cucina e non ha tesori o dispense, la figlia mai cacciata e mai tornata, la statua di sale che a tutti tocca vedere all’ora di cena, eppure vorrei interrogare mia madre, chiederle cosa dovrei fare, perché lei sempre ha trovato soluzioni sul da farsi, sul mettersi in moto e risolvere, mentre io ho solo preso armi e carrarmati e ho attaccato le altrui barricate, il suo agire è progetto, il mio agire è guerra, nel primo caso l’obiettivo è noto, nel secondo ciò che si sa è solo che conviene distruggere prima che siano gli altri a pensarci.”

“In case you didn’t know
I too went home after the ceremony
And replayed the silent pauses of our failed encounter.
I thought of a new clever thing I wish I said
And you’ll never know it and I won’t know yours.
In case you didn’t know
I imagine weddings within the first hour of meeting you
I felt your peek, but pretended not to look your way
I looked you up online and now don’t know where to start
That you whispered in my ear and I’ll masturbate
To the once hot air on my neck.
In case you didn’t know
When I turned the corner, I cried.
I thought I heard you, too.
Maybe both our loved ones
Share the same hospital.
In case you didn’t know
I wore bright colors and made the afternoon men laugh,
But tonight I’ll drink to darkness
because I have no one.
They pay me well, but I only want that other thing—
Your poetry, in case I didn’t know.”
