“When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not?

“There is a certain kind of peace that is not merely the absence of war. It is larger than that. The peace I am thinking of is not at the mercy of history's rule, nor is it a passive surrender to the status quo.

Accessible as it is, this particular kind of peace warrants vigilance.” ThinkingWorldWritingMindKindWarCertainReadingPeaceParticularActivityMercyAbsenceSurrenderPassiveStatus QuoOpen MindUbuntuVigilanceWarrantsReading Writing Book:The Dancing Mind Source: The Dancing Mind
