Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world. Emanuel Kant

H.D. Thoreau
"Who wants to be well-adjusted to injustice? What kind of human being do you want to be?"
Cornel West quote
Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge.
TONI MORRISON, Nobel Lecture, Dec. 7, 1993
This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.
Aristotle
"Cogito, ergo sum"
