“When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God.

“There's no way in which you can ever win a war against terror. As long as there are conditions in many parts of the world that make people desperate: poverty, disease, ignorance, etc. I hope that we will discover soon, that we can survive, only together. We can prosper only together. And I think people are beginning to realize this, that you can't have pockets of prosperity in one part of the world and huge deserts of poverty and deprivation and think you can have a stable, secure world.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayLongWarTogetherWinningRealizingPovertyConditionsIgnoranceHugeDiseaseTerrorProsperitySecureDesertDesperateEtcPocketsStableDeprivationTogether We Can Author:Desmond Tutu
“If I walk on the street, if I go to a restaurant, people come to me and say: "Can we take a photo together? Can you give me your autograph?" They would bring their expensive Armani or Prada wallet to sign. Other people who are desperate show me a photo of their dead daughter and ask: Can you support me? I tell them: How can I? Morally, of course, I sympathize with you. But I cannot support you and you cannot support me. This is the condition of this society.

“You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination. Your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health or desperate loneliness, these will be 'automatically' materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them a reality in physical terms. If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.” IfsGivingRealityGivenTermImaginationResultsWatchesEnvironmentImagineConditionsLonelinessHealthCircumstancesExpectationsDirectPaintIllDesperateOur EnvironmentGood HealthIll Health Author:Seth
“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
“The main thing is that Ataturk saw the desperate condition of the countries that had not had an industrial revolution. Ataturk saw where history was going. He really did in Turkey what we are all hoping somebody will do in [Islamic] countries where fundamentalists thrive, that they get somebody today that has the vision that Ataturk had in 1915.” CountryTodayVisionSawsConditionsRevolutionIslamicDesperateThriveTurkeysIndustrial RevolutionAtaturk Author:Ahmet Ertegun
