• Creo que tenemos la suerte de vivir en un país en el que disfrutamos de tantos derechos que otros países ni siquiera pueden imaginar. Sin embargo, me aterra que parezcamos haber perdido el contacto con nuestra conexión con la Tierra. Me preocupa que hayamos alcanzado tales cotas de arrogancia al negarnos a reconocer que nuestra tierra está cambiando rápidamente de formas que podrían afectarnos catastróficamente, pero en lugar de ello, nos mantenemos firmes en nuestra creencia de que nada puede pasarnos como pueblo.

• Las políticas que defiende Hillary [Clinton] van a ser más de lo mismo, tanto si nos fijamos en sus acogedoras relaciones con los bancos, su negativa a apoyar la Glass-Steagall, su vaguedad sobre lo que realmente va a hacer con respecto al control de los grandes bancos.

• La condena categórica es el odio de la multitud. Hace valientes a los cobardes. Y no hay nada más temible que una turba religiosa, una turba desbordante de justicia, como en la crucifixión y antes y después. Esto sólo puede ocurrir después de haber rechazado categóricamente la bondad: hacia los herejes, los extranjeros, los enemigos o cualquier otro grupo diferente de nosotros.

  Wendell Berry

  Religious, Kindness, Hatred

• Obviamente, no quiero minimizar la naturaleza patriarcal de nuestros medios de comunicación, nuestro gobierno y nuestra cultura en su conjunto. Pero creo que nuestro mayor problema, tanto individual como colectivo, es que las mujeres nos negamos a asumir nuestro poder. El eje que sostiene el sistema actual es el letargo de las mujeres.

• This deep agnosticism is more than the refusal of conventional agnosticism to take a stand on whether God exists or whether the mind survives bodily death. It is the willingness to embrace the fundamental bewilderment of a finite, fallible creature as the basis for leading a life that no longer clings to the superficial consolations of certainty.

• What about our refusal to look squarely at the degradation of the planet we inhabit? In the last election cycle many candidates refused even to acknowledge the hard science, irrefutable science, of climate change. The president, while readily accepting the facts, has done far too little to alter them. How long are we, are you, prepared to wait?

• All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people; but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
