It is only on these principles that we will be able to establish ("pourront être édifiées", Fr.) the real basis of morality.”

“Change depends on people knowing the truth. Change depends on people speaking that truth out loud. That's what movements do. Movements educate people to the truth.

Movements are the way ordinary people get more freedom and justice. Movements are how we keep a check on power and those who abuse it.”

“As Joanna Macy reminds us, "Information by itself can increase resistance [to engagement], deepening the sense of apathy and powerlessness."
