“We cannot play ostrich. Democracy just cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage. America must get to work. In the chill climate in which we live, we must go against the prevailing wind. We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.”

“Trusting yourself is the opposite of trusting God. If you trust God totally (as you must) you must mistrust yourself. If you trust yourself, you are automatically mistrusting God.
Faith is not enough, you also need an act of will. The act of will you need is precisely deciding to trust God fully and mistrust yourself.
Modern psychology has lost its bearings when they insist that one must trust oneself. That position is un-Christian.”

“Government surveillance is a violation of our intrinsic right to privacy, a breach that extends beyond legal boundaries into the emotional terrain of fear and mistrust. The toll on individuals subjected to constant monitoring is profound, casting a shadow over the very notion of personal freedom. Trust, a cornerstone of any democratic society, crumbles in the face of surveillance overreach, fostering an environment where citizens feel hesitant to express themselves openly. Historical examples, such as the COINTELPRO program, illuminate the dark potential of unchecked government surveillance, highlighting the imperative to acknowledge its unlawfulness and safeguard the emotional well-being and trust that are essential for a thriving society.”

Silence can be a suffocating blanket, shrouding our relationships in a fog of misunderstandings. Without open communication, we become mere guessers, interpreting silences and sighs as pronouncements of discontent, breeding resentment and mistrust.”

“What he can't bear is when he has to act as nursemaid, for Ernesto mistrusts children instinctively. He thinks they're cunning, clever, wiser in many things than their scrubbed little faces reveal. Those eyes, so penetrating and so new, have an unerring way of exposing the more shameful secrets and stupid weaknesses of the grown-ups. Ernesto feels a strange uneasiness at being thus observed and subjected to scrutiny.”
