Random quote of the day:

White

Posted by PJ under history, names, power, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I think the first time ‘white’ was used was in the 1600s. Generally, we were described by where we came from…All of a sudden, this word ‘white’ came through, and now everyone is going for their own sense of power…to figure out who’s on top. There is always that 1% who looked down upon everyone else and kept us fighting each other. Until we figure that out and stop, this is where we’re headed.”

—Dennis Haysbert, Deadline, August 3, 2016

If

Posted by PJ under dogs, enlightenment, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“If you can sit quietly after difficult news, if in financial turndowns you remain perfectly calm, if you can see your neighbors travel to fantastic places without a twinge of jealousy, if you can happily eat whatever is put on your plate and fall asleep after a day of running around without a drink or a pill, if you can always find contentment just where you are, you are probably a dog.”

—Jack Kornfeld, “Pema Chödrön and Jack Kornfeld talk ‘The Wondrous Path of Difficulties,’” The Lion’s Roar, October 15, 2017

Front Door

Posted by PJ under action and activism, black lives matter, justice, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“To ignore injustices such as the few we address in the film [You Can’t Hear Me] simply because they may not seem to affect you directly right now, is to leave yourself unprepared when their effects show up at your front door. That’s the awareness we want to continue to bring to light as we stand in solidarity with activists and the politicians who really are doing their work for the people.”

—Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Huffpost, May 2, 2017
