“A Way Out of No Way” – “It’s a very common phrase in the Black church experience…it’s been passed on from generation to generation. It is a phrase born of suffering, of prevail and oppression. And yet keeping the faith in the midst of that struggle.” - Sen. Raphael Warnock(D-GA.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2741x-vCbf8
“Remember, always, that it is the nature of a warrior to act. Do not be daunted by the formidable strength of the opposition. Do not be depressed by doom and gloom predictions. A true warrior must welcome challenge and transform the impossible into the possible. Because you are living in these trying times, it is your task to confront situations created by human ignorance and apathy, and focus your actions through love for the future and all the children of all the children of all species.” — Captain Paul Watson in “Earthforce!”
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.” - Rachel Carlson RadicalHope
