“Individualità, Complessità. Ambiguità. Difetti. Errori. Tutte queste cose sono privilegi. Individualità, complessità, ambiguità, difetti ed errori ovviamente non sono affatto privilegi. Sono propri dell’essere umano, senza non si può esserlo. Eppure non sono concessi agli esseri umani che deviano dalla norma. Così, ciò che costituisce una persona nella sua ricchezza di sfaccettature, diventa un privilegio. Per coloro che vengono analizzati, a cui viene dato un nome, che vengono chiusi nelle definizioni dei nominanti: “La donna ebrea, L’uomo di colore. La donna con disabilità. L’uomo con un background migratorio. La donna musulmana. Il rifugiato. La lesbica. La donna trans. Il lavoratore straniero. Tutti vengono nominati e considerati in gruppo. Come se fosse possibile capire un essere umano senza trascorrerci del tempo e senza entrare in contatto con il suo punto di vista. Senza conoscere le sue contraddizioni, i suoi difetti, i suoi errori. E anche allora il processo di conoscenza di una persona non ha fine.”

“Individually the disciple and friend of Jesus who has learned to work shoulder to shoulder with his or her Lord stands in this world as a point of contact between heaven and earth, a kind of Jacob’s ladder by which the angels of God may ascend from and descend into human life. Thus the disciple stands as an envoy or a receiver by which the kingdom of God is conveyed into every quarter of human affairs.”

“Individually we can work on ourselves. By working on your own ego and developing truth, control, and an equitable inner dialogue, you individualize the spirit within you through the process of observation. If you work on yourself, the progress you make radiates invisibly to others, helping them and giving them courage, which also improves the global picture. After all-your ego is a part of the world ego, and as you control it, you lessen the overall influence of the world ego while expanding the presence of truth on our planet.”

“Individuals are certainly interested, at times, in having their own way, and their own way may go contrary to the ways of others. But they are also interested, and chiefly interested upon the whole, in entering into the activities of others and taking part in conjoint and cooperative doings. Otherwise, no such thing as a community would be possible.”

“individuals are concerned not
with the moral issue of realizing these standards, but with
the amoral issue of engineering a convincing impression that
these standards are being realized. Our activity, then, is
largely concerned with moral matters, but as performers we
do not have a moral concern in these moral matters. As
performers we are merchants of morality. Our day is given
over to intimate contact with the goods we display and our
minds are filled with intimate understandings of them; but it
may well be that the more attention we give to these goods,
th e more d is ta n t we feel from them and from those who are
believing enough to buy them. To use a different imagery,
the very obligation and profitablility of appearing always in
a steady moral light, of being a socialized character, forces
us to be the sort of person who is practiced in the ways of
the stage.”
“Individuals are custodians of the life stream -- temporal manifestations of far greater being, forming from and returning to their essence like so many dreams.”

“Individuals are not stable things, they are fleeting. Chromosomes too are shuffled into oblivion, like hands of cards soon after they are dealt. But the cards themselves survive the shuffling. The cards are the genes. The genes are not destroyed by crossing-over, they merely change partners and march on. Of course they march on. That is their business. They are the replicators and we are their survival machines. When we have served our purpose we are cast aside. But genes are denizens of geological time: genes are forever.”

“Individuals bearing witness cannot do the work of social movements, but they can break a corrosive and demoralizing silence.”
“Individuals bearing witness do not change history; only movements that understand their social world can do that. Movements encourage solidarity; the moral individual is likely, all unwittingly, to do the opposite, for bearing witness is lonely: it breeds feelings of superiority and moralistic anger against those who are not doing the same.”
