“Our tears are not enough. Our words and our prayers are not enough. If we really want to honor these twelve men and women, if we really want to be a country where we can go to work and go to school and walk our streets free from senseless violence, without so many lives being stolen by a bullet from a gun, then we're gonna have to change.

“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.” PeopleMenWantBelieveWellsMayMadeRealSelfMatterDoneHomeForgetViolenceWorstExampleHonorBedConversationIllusionIdealsNo Matter WhatWingsStrikesDamageTexasSubmitCowboyScornForget ItMillionaireRight WingRedneckReal MenSelf MadeOutspokenManlinessMachismoNortherners Author:Edmund White
“We musicians, like everyone else, are numb with sorrow at this murder, and with rage at the senselessness of the crime. But this sorrow and rage will not inflame us to seek retribution; rather they will inflame our art. Our music will never again be quite the same. This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before. And with each note we will honor the spirit of John Kennedy, commemorate his courage, and reaffirm his faith in the Triumph of the Mind.” MindArtSpiritViolenceCrimeHonorSorrowMusicianMurderNotesRageTriumphNumbRetributionJohn KennedySenselessness Author:Leonard Bernstein

“Though women may appear equal in some ways, and though we definitely have accomplished a lot, the fact is one in one women will still experience sexual violence at some point in their lives; a mere 17 percent of the U.S. Senate is female; women still only make 77 cents for every man's dollar - and that's not even taking into consideration global issues like sex trafficking or honor killings. We still need feminism, it's just not as easy for people - especially people in an incredibly privileged country like America - to always see that.” PeopleCountryEasyViolenceFeminismHonorEqualFemaleKillingAccomplishedConsideration Author:Julie Zeilinger

“We cannot build on peace on blood. We are still so addicted to this lie. We have this fantasy that we honor the dead by adding to their number. What we need to do is remember that these bodies bury us. This ocean of blood that we create through the fantasy that violence brings virtue drowns us, drowns our children, drowns our future, drowns the world. We have to understand that when we pour these endless young bodies into this pit of death, we follow.” WorldNeedsChildrenStillsBodyRememberYoungLyingNumbersFantasyVirtueViolenceBloodHonorOceanOur ChildrenEndlessOur FuturePits Author:Stefan Molyneux
