Running through a stack of papers I came across the following quotes:

 "Spirituality is the highest form of politics."  John Mohawk of the Haudensaunee

 "Being human is not being driven, but deciding who one is going to be.  Karl Jaspers

 "Existentialists realize that categories, rating scales, rational standards, and impersonal explanations fail to capture the living stinging moment of reality."  Avery Weismen

 "In a world that is largely unfair, you make your choices."  George Yonemura's father

 "Besides

my struggle was always against 

an inner darkness: I carry within myself

the only known keys

to my death....

       the healing

of all our wounds

is forgiveness

that permits a promise

of our return

at the end.  Alice Walker

  "Then we shall understand that evil is not symmetrical with the good, wickedness is nto something that replaces the goodness of a man (sic): it si the staining, the darkening, the disfiguring of an innocence, a light and a beauty that remain.l  Howeve radical evil may be, it cannot be as primordial as goodness.  Paul Ricourer

 "In a higher world it is otherwise but here below to live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often.  J.H. Newsmen
