“For all of the creeds are false, and all of the creeds are true; And low at the shrines where my brothers bow, there will I bow too; For no form of a god, and no fashion Man has made in his desperate passion, But is worthy some worship of mine; Not too hot with a gross belief, Nor yet too cold with pride, I will bow me down where my brothers bow, Humble, but open eyed.” MenMadeFormPassionBeliefFashionMinesBrotherPrideColdWorshipLowsHotHumbleWorthyMy BrotherDesperateBowsCreedsGrossShrinesOpen EyesTrue Worship Book:Selected letters of Don Marquis Source: Selected letters of Don Marquis

“Take a young man from Gaza living in the most horrendous conditions - most of it imposed by Israel - who straps dynamite around himself and then throws himself into a crowd of Israelis. I've never condoned or agreed with it, but at least it is understandable as the desperate wish of a human being who feels himself being crowded out of life and all of his surroundings, who sees his fellow citizens, other Palestinians, his parents, sisters, and brothers, suffering, being injured, or being killed. He wants to do something, to strike back.” MenWantFeelsHumansYoungSufferingWishParentHuman BeingsConditionsBrotherCitizensFellowsCrowdsIsraelStrikesYoung ManDesperatePalestinianBrothers And SistersSurroundingsInjuredCrowdedGazaDynamiteStrike Back Author:Edward Said
“As kids, my brother David and I longed for acceptance. We were desperate to belong. We would have been thrilled to see the pews of Jones's church in San Francisco, with blacks and whites sitting side by side. And Jim Jones's sermons on social justice and equality would have had much greater appeal to us than the soporific morality tales we were accustomed to hearing. Jones promised real racial equality. He promised to create a truly equal community in the jungle in Guyana.” RealKidsCommunityChurchJusticeAcceptanceBrotherMoralityEqualSocial JusticeMy BrotherDesperateJungle Author:Julia Scheeres
