There is a flow to history and culture. This flow is rooted and has its wellspring in the thoughts of people. People are unique in the inner life of the mind -- what they are in their thought-world determines how they act. This is true of their value systems and it is true of their creativity. It is true of their corporate actions, such as political decisions, and it is true of their personal lives. The results of their thought-world flow through their fingers or from their tongues into the external world.

Clarence Darrow, one of history's greatest lawyers, once noted "There is no such thing as justice, in or out of court."

Which is why, when the system fails us, we must go out and seek our own justice.

You will get closer to the truths only when you start thinking this way: My religion is not the best religion, my country is not the best country, my culture is not the best culture, and my life is not the best life!

Bigotry hurts the economy, so the next time you want to blame minorities for your problems, first take a look in the mirror.

Saying it's hard being straight is like complaining to the poor that it's difficult being wealthy.

Those who benefit from unearned privilege are too often quick to discount those who don't.

If you think being straight means you're being discriminated against, you're probably misreading your privilege.

To pronounce French properly you must have within you a deep antipathy, not to say scorn, for some of the most sacred of the Anglo-Saxon prejudices.
