destabeeA sudden uncomfortable feeling that is a mix of home sickness (except it is an ache for people who know me and whom I know well); a longing for beauty, spice, creativity, adventure; frustration (not sure what this is about); and a touch of loneliness has me trying to keep myself occupied so I am cleaning out my inboxes (well at least working on cleaning them out). Here are some quotes that I wanted to say from weekly emails from the yahoo group the best liberal quotes ever.
Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think. -- Margaret Cho
We become fully human when we are aware of another's suffering as if it were our own. -- D'vorah Kost
Nothing is more powerful than individuals acting out of their own conscience. -- Vaclav Havel
You might as well speak your mind and do what is in your heart because you never know what waits around the corner -- what unforeseen forces are headed your way. -- Arianna Huffington
Faith is not just something you have, it's something you do. -- Barack Obama
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. -- Rev. Jesse Jackson
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle. -- Philo of Alexandria
We are all much more alike than not, and we are all loved and welcome here, exactly as we are right now, despite all evidence to the contrary. -- Anne Lamott
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. -- Albert Camus
Artists are often the canary in the coal mine. -- Robert Atkins
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it. -- Andre Gide
One of my greatest pleasures in my writing has come from the thought that perhaps my work might annoy someone of comfortably pretentious position. Then comes the realization that such people rarely read. -- John Kenneth Galbraith
Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business! -- Ghost of Jacob Marley
Poverty is the worst form of violence. -- Mahatma Gandhi
Go to where the silence is. That is the responsibility of a journalist: giving a voice to those who have been forgotten, forsaken, and beaten down by the powerful. -- Amy Goodman
It's very hard to organize reasonable people with moderate views. Reasonable people with moderate views don't usually light their torches and head out to town with pitchforks shouting, "Be reasonable." -- Jon Stewart
If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am not for others, what am I?
And if not now, when?
-- Rabbi Hillel
The fundamental conflicts in human life are . . . between those who hold power and use it to oppress others, and those who are oppressed by power and seek to free themselves of it. -- Thomas Szasz
Beware when you fight a dragon, lest you become a dragon. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitible. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
The blessing of a bigoted, political God isn't worth having. -- Deepak Chopra
We must strive to become good ancestors. -- Ralph Nader
We liberals need to make a distinction between attacking politicians who see their faith as a necessary part of them and those who want to see that their faith becomes a necessary part of us. -- Andrew Hammond
Don't call everyone you don't like, Hitler. Bush is not Hitler. For one thing, Hitler was a decorated frontline combat veteran. Also, in the election that brought him to power in 1933, Hitler got more votes than the other candidates. -- Bill Maher
There are two types of power. Organized money and organized people. -- Linda Jeffers
The Bible isn't America's holiest book. America doesn't have a holy book. It does have two holy documents, however. One is called the Constitution. The other is known as the Declaration of Independence. -- David Kuo
Women audacious enough to seek political office are routinely dogged by double-standard-laced news coverage that focuses on their looks, fashion sense, familial relationships and other feminizing details that have nothing to do with their ability to lead. -- Jennifer L. Pozner
Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. -- Susan B. Anthony
American suburbia represents the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world. The far-flung housing subdivisions, commercial highway strips, big-box stores,
and all the other furnishings and accessories of extreme car dependence will function poorly, if at all, in an oil-scarce future. -- James Howard Kunstler
