One cannot equate who was fighting for a right cause of equality and freedom, and who, apart of goodfaith, was on the wrong side.

“Resistence takes place on many planes. Occasionally it can be dramatic and public, but most of the decisions we are faced with are mundane and private. What to eat is a choice that we make several times a day, if we are lucky. The cumulative choices we make about food have profound implications. Food offers us many opportunities to resist the culture of mass marketing and commodification. Though consumer action can take many creative and powerful forms, we do not have to be reduced to the role of consumers selecting from seductive convenience items. We can merge appetite with activism and choose to involve ourselves in food as cocreators. (Page 27)”

“Resistenza, alla radice, deve significare qualcosa di più di semplice resistenza alla guerra. Si tratta di resistenza a qualsiasi cosa somigli alla guerra [...]. Allora, forse, resistenza significa opposizione: non lasciarsi invadere, occupare, assassinare e distruggere dal sistema. Lo scopo della resistenza, in questo caso, è cercare di guarire sé stessi in modo da imparare a vedere con chiarezza [...]. Io credo che le comunità di resistenza dovrebbero essere luoghi dove ritornare più facilmente a sé stessi, luoghi che permettano a ognuno di guarire e recuperare la propria dignità.”
“Resistere. Nessun singolo istante di quel dolore era insopportabile. Eccolo qua un secondo: lo aveva sopportato. Insopportabile era il pensiero di tutti gli istanti in fila, uno dietro l'altro, splendenti. E la proiezione della paura futura [...]. Ma niente di tutto questo è vero, ora. [...] Poteva accovacciarsi nello spazio tra due battiti del cuore e fare di ogni battito un muro e vivere là dentro. Non permettere alla sua testa di guardare sopra il muro. La cosa insopportabile è cosa ne penserebbe la sua testa. Cosa potrebbe raccontargli la sua testa se guardasse al di là del muro. Ma potrebbe scegliere di non ascoltarla.”

His back hits the door. Our tongues tangle, and there’s no hesitance on his part. He dives in fully, and he tastes the same as I remember but better.”

“Resistirse a la humillación es algo completamente natural. Retrocedemos ante las experiencias humillantes porque atentan contra nuestra dignidad (que es otra manera de decir que hieren nuestro orgullo). Esa es la clave del problema. Entonces nos vendrá bien recordar quiénes somos nosotros realmente y quién es Dios. Si detrás de esa experiencia solo vemos el daño y lo desagradable del hecho, únicamente puede ser porque hemos perdido de vista, al menos momentáneamente, la voluntad de Dios y su providencia. Porque las humillaciones nacen de las circunstancias, de los acontecimientos y de la gente que Dios nos pone delante cada día; y todas esas cosas no son sino manifestaciones de su providencia. De ahí que debamos aprender a descubrir en todo ello, incluso en las humillaciones, ocasiones para una mayor conformidad con la voluntad de Dios.”

“Resnica ni kruta, le prebujenje iz nevednosti boli kakor vsako drugo rojstvo. Teci za resnico, dokler ti ne zmanjka sape. Sprejmi bolečino, ki je nujna, da se boš na novo ustvaril. Vse življenje bo trajalo, da boš razumel te misli; vse težko življenje, prekinjeno s trenutki pijanosti.”
