“Proximity has taught me some basic and humbling truths, including this vital lesson: Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done. My work with the poor and the incarcerated has persuaded me that the opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice. Finally, I've come to believe that the true measure of our commitment to justice, the character of our society, our commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful, the privileged, and the respected among us. The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.
We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. Fear and anger can make us vindictive and abusive, unjust and unfair, until we all suffer from the absence of mercy and we condemn ourselves as much as we victimize others. The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and - perhaps - we all need some measure of unmerited grace.”

“Prozodia japoneză a fost determinată de însăşi natura limbii... Versurile japoneze se bazează pe un calcul al silabelor şi diferitele tipuri de poezie sînt în mod obişnuit deosebite între ele prin numărul silabelor pe care le conţin. Astfel, tanka este un poem de 31 de silabe, dispuse în versuri de 5, 7, 5, 7 şi din nou 7 silabe. Haiku, formă dezvoltată mai recent, conţine 17 silabe dispuse în trei versuri de 5, 7 şi 5 silabe. în aceste două forme şi în variantele bazate pe ele trebuie căutat aproape tot ceea ce consideră japonezii că este poezie. Se înţelege cu uşurinţă că nu e nici o problemă să compui o poezie de numai 31 sau de numai 17 silabe, fără rimă şi ritm dar mai trebuie adăugat că e tot atît de dificil să scrii în japoneză ceva de valoare ca şi în cazul oricărei alte limbi…
Ne vom găsi în prezenţa unui foarte mic număr de subiecte considerate a fi apte pentru poezie, iar în acest restrîns cadru tematic vom descoperi şi un număr restrîns de moduri de tratare a subiectelor respective… Dar asemenea idei religioase precum cele întîlnite în poezia japoneză sînt destul de simple şt n-au putut să-i tulbure prea mult pe poeţi. E întru totul caracteristic faptul că antiintelectuala doctrină budistă Zen a produs în poezia japoneză singura influenţă religioasă semnificativă.”
