“Fear of sexuality is the new, disease-sponsored register of the universe of fear in which everyone now lives. Cancerphobia taught us the fear of a polluting environment; now we have the fear of polluting people that AIDS anxiety inevitably communicates. Fear of the Communion cup, fear of surgery: fear of contaminated blood, whether Christ's blood or your neighbor's.” PeopleUniverseChristEnvironmentBloodTaughtDiseaseAnxietyCommunicateSexualityAidsNeighborCupsCommunionSurgeryRegisterTaught Us Author:Susan Sontag
“Public school teachers in Long Island, New York, saved my life in the '70s. They were involved and invested and helpful. One took me into her family and loved me back to life. She taught me that love is not formed and families are not formed by blood. That love makes a family.” LongSchoolLove IsTeacherBloodNew YorkTaughtInvolvedSavedIslandsHelpfulPublic SchoolSchool TeachersLong Island Author:Rosie O'Donnell
“Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.” KnowsMenChildrenDoeEarthMotherTeachOne ThingBloodTaughtSonAll ThingsOur ChildrenCreatorConnectedHarmYour ChildrenContemptStrandsWeb Of Life Author:Chief Seattle
