"If we cannot end now our
differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
For, in the final analysis, our most common link is that we all inhabit
this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish
our children's future. And we are all mortal."
-- John F. Kennedy, 1963
"The world is not divided into
sheeps and goats. Not all things are black nor all things
white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with
discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries
to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a
continuum in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn
this concerning sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding
of the realities of sex."
-- Alfred Kinsey
"If you are not personally free to
be yourself in that most important of all human activities...the expression
of love...then life itself loses its meaning."
-- Harvey Milk, openly gay mayor assassinated in 1978
"No one can put a chain around the
ankle of another without at last finding the other fastened about his or
her own neck."
-- Frederick Douglass, 1883
You must be the change you wish to see in
the world.
-- Mahatma Gandhi
Watch your thoughts; they become your
words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they
become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch
your character for it will become your destiny.
-- Source Unknown
Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I
may remember; involve me and I'll understand.
-- Chinese Proverb
We do not believe in ourselves until
someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy
of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk
curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the
human spirit.
-- E.E. Cummings
The glory of friendship is not the
outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is
the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone
else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that
ever has. And never doubt that a small group of students can make to world
a more just and humane place. Indeed, they already have.
-- Margaret Mead
