“I must have justice, or I will destroy myself. And not justice in some remote and infinite time and space, but here on Earth...I want to see with my own eyes the lamb lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. I want to be there when everyone suddenly understands what it has all been about. All the religions of the world are built on this longing, and I am a believer.” WorldWantEyeEarthLyingJusticeMy OwnSpaceBuiltInfiniteVictimEmbraceLongingBelieverLionsMurdererTime And SpaceLambsInfinite Time Author:Fyodor Dostoevsky
“As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing for instance. It has always been clear to me that the stories of each other's lives are our best textbooks. Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences. So, if we've shared many experiences, then it probably has something to do with power or politics, and if we unify and act together, then we can make a change.” PeopleIfsKnowsWritingStoriesUseActionTogetherSocialJusticeMy OwnClearGroupsMovementSittingSocial JusticeInstanceFinding YourselfActivistDiscoveringMaking ChangesMy Own LifeTextbooksLife StorySmall Groups Author:Gloria Steinem
