inspirational motivational feminist
There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.
motivational faith optimistic
Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.
running people abuse
Every people, every society, needs a culture of resistance, a culture of being difficult and disobedient, that is the only way they will ever be able to stand up to the inevitable abuse of power by whoever runs the state apparatus, the capitalists, the communists, the socialists, the Gandhians, whoever.
jobs real salary
The NGO-ization of politics threatens to turn resistance into a well-mannered, reasonable, salaried, 9-to-5 job. With a few perks thrown in. Real resistance has real consequences. And no salary.
dream country fighting
...As the disparity between the rich and the poor grows, the fight to corner resources is intensifying. To push through their "sweetheart deals," to corporatize the crops we grow, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the dreams we dream, corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies.

To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
fighting giving empathy
Empathy may be the single most important quality that must be nurtured to give peace a fighting chance.
government people mind
Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the twentieth century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead.
hands needs joining
We need a new kind of politics. Not the politics of governance, but the politics of resistance. The politics of opposition. The politics of joining hands across the world and preventing certain destruction.
love-you people littles
That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.
believe nuclear weapons
It is such a supreme folly to believe that nuclear weapons are deadly only if they're used.
attitude continue early greatest played tough year
I think the greatest thing has been his attitude to continue working. He bounced back from some tough times early this year and has really played well, and he's played well down the stretch.
