• Jesus is the starving, the parched, the prisoner, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the dying. Jesus is the oppressed, the poor. To live with Jesus is to live with the poor. To live with the poor is to live with Jesus.

• En su lucha por la dignidad humana, los oprimidos del mundo no deben amargarse ni entregarse a campañas de odio. Tomar represalias con odio y amargura no haría más que intensificar el odio en el mundo. En el camino de la vida, alguien debe tener el sentido y la moral suficientes para cortar la cadena del odio. Esto sólo puede hacerse proyectando la ética del amor al centro de nuestras vidas.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Queda una experiencia de valor incomparable... ver los grandes acontecimientos de la historia del mundo desde abajo; desde la perspectiva de los marginados, los sospechosos, los maltratados, los impotentes, los oprimidos, los vilipendiados ---- en resumen, desde la perspectiva de los que sufren... mirar con ojos nuevos los asuntos grandes y pequeños.

• The character of the tribunes was, in every respect, different from that of the consuls. The appearance of the former was modest and humble; but their persons were sacred and inviolable. Their force was suited rather for opposition than for action. They were instituted to defend the oppressed, to pardon offences, to arraign the enemies of the people, and, when they judged it necessary, to stop, by a single word, the whole machine of government.

• But this inestimable privilege was soon violated: with the knowledge of truth the emperor imbibed the maxims of persecution; and the sects which dissented from the catholic church were afflicted and oppressed by the triumph of Christianity. Constantine easily believed that the heretics, who presumed to dispute his opinions or to oppose his commands, were guilty of the most absurd and criminal obstinacy; and that a seasonable application of moderate severities might save those unhappy men from the danger of an everlasting condemnation.

• We live in a world with serious class complexes. It is one thing to be a college student with loan debts and another thing to be just dirt poor for your entire life. The challenge is to come up with more complex understandings of where we are, more global awareness of what connects Americans with what is happening with suffering and oppressed people all around the world.

• I seem indeed to hear that voice, from Him Who gathers together those who are broken, and welcomes the oppressed: I have given you up, and I will help you. In a little wrath I struck you, but with everlasting mercy I will glorify you (cf. Isa. 54:8). The measure of His kindness exceeds the measure of His discipline.

• Ser víctima de la opresión en Estados Unidos no basta para ser revolucionario, igual que salir del vientre de tu madre no basta para ser humano. Las personas llenas de odio e ira contra sus opresores o que sólo ven Nosotros contra Ellos pueden hacer una rebelión, pero no una revolución. Los oprimidos interiorizan los valores del opresor. Por lo tanto, cualquier grupo que alcance el poder, por muy oprimido que esté, no va a actuar de forma diferente a sus opresores mientras no se enfrente a los valores que ha interiorizado y adopte conscientemente valores diferentes.

• Cuando el deseo de riqueza se apodera del corazón, miremos a nuestro alrededor y veamos cómo opera sobre aquellos cuya industria o fortuna la ha obtenido. Cuando los encontremos oprimidos por su propia abundancia, lujosos sin placer, ociosos sin facilidad, impacientes y quejumbrosos en sí mismos, y despreciados u odiados por el resto de la humanidad, pronto nos convenceremos de que si las necesidades reales de nuestra condición están satisfechas, queda poco que buscar con solicitud o desear con afán.

• Se dice que este es un mundo de hombres, y a veces, lo es. Por cada chica del ataúd que se salvó, otras incontables no lo hicieron. Pero las mujeres son más resistentes de lo que se cree. Y algunas mujeres, bueno, digamos que será mejor que sus opresores tengan cuidado. Yo también soy resistente y estoy harta de que me opriman.

• Throughout my life, I have always supported the human being in his humanism and I have supported the oppressed. I think it is the person's right to live his freedom and it is her and his right to face the injustice imposed on each by revolting against it, using his practical, realistic and available means to end the oppressor's injustice toward him, whether it is an individual, a community, a nation, or a state; whether male or female.
