“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
“Over the years, I've found that I either live life or write about it. I can't seem to do both simultaneously - I have to do it sequentially. When I write incessantly, I lose touch with the issues and passions that fuel the work. But when I get too involved in organizations or movement endeavors, I almost forget that I'm a writer. It's a constant struggle to find a balance between these two worlds - the solitary writing life and the life of a social justice activist.” WorldWritingYearsI CanTwoSeemsPassionFoundSocialLosesJusticeForgetStruggleIssuesMovementBalanceInvolvedOrganizationSocial JusticeConstantActivismLive LifeFuelActivistEndeavorSolitaryWriting LifeTwo WorldsIncessantlyConstant Struggle Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin

“It would seem that the ingratitude, whereby a subsequent sin causes the return of sins previously forgiven, is a special sin.
