“The Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate.

“The burden of all song and praise "unto the Highest" has been that God stands for justice and mercy. Yet injustice among men is ever on the increase; the outrages committed against the masses in this country alone would seem enough to overflow the very heavens. But where are the gods to make an end to all these horrors, these wrongs, this inhumanity to man? No, not the gods, but MAN must rise in his mighty wrath. He, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth.” MenHas BeensEndsCountryEnoughSeemsEarthSongHeavenJusticeHorrorHighestMassMercyIncreasePraiseInjusticeCommittedBurdenPositive AtheismBetrayedWrathDeceivedDeitiesOutrageInhumanityOverflowJustice And MercyInhumanity To Man Book:Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader Source: Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader

“I consider Otto Rank to be one of the great spiritual giants of the twentieth century, a genius as a psychologist and a saint as a human being. Though vilified by his original community of Freudians, he never became bitter. He died a feminist and deeply committed to social justice, in 1939....His deep understanding of creativity makes him a mentor for all of us living in a postmodern world....I believe that Art and Artist, especially chapters 12 to 14, may well emerge as the most valuable psychoanalysis of the spiritual life in our time.” WorldBelieveHumansWellsMayArtSpiritualArtistI BelieveSocialUnderstandingCommunityJusticeHuman BeingsCreativityCenturyGeniusDiedOriginalsSocial JusticeSaintCommittedFeministValuableBitterOur TimeGiantsSpiritual LifeChaptersMentorTwentieth CenturyPsychologistPsychoanalysisPostmodernGreat SpiritualDeep Understanding Author:Matthew Fox
