An interesting rumination by famous prison-reformer and Quaker Elizabeth Fry, who suggests that “The Mennonite, Dunkard, Shaker, Oneida Communist, Mormon and Quaker are all one people, varying only according to environment.”
From Maya Angelou via Russell at The Cultural Hall:
“If you are not angry then you are a stone. You should be angry. But you should not be bitter. Bitterness is like a cancer. It feeds on the host and doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it, you paint it, you dance it, you march it, you vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. You never stop talking!”
