• Resulta tentador creer que las cosas malas le ocurren a la gente (sobre todo a los demás) porque Dios es un juez justo que les da exactamente lo que se merecen. Creyendo eso mantenemos el mundo ordenado y comprensible.... Pero [esta creencia] tiene una serie de graves limitaciones.... Enseña a la gente a culparse a sí misma. Crea culpabilidad cuando no hay base para ello. Y lo más inquietante de todo es que ni siquiera se ajusta a los hechos.

  Judge John Rudd ruled that our lawyers should
  'get off that race question.'

It would need to be a word of solidarity, healing and love in situations of brokenness and despair and a disturbing and troubling word of justice to those who wish to protect their privilege by exclusion.

• Sin embargo, por muy reconfortante y apacible que sea peinar en la playa, acaba siendo como el mar, tan inquietante como tranquilizador.

Cosas arrancadas de su vida o de su lugar.
