This: “The empire, in turn, is rooted in hopelessness. It has no language of caring, just force. And so it has no response to the human being on fire except to point a gun at the flames.”

How can we be the opposite of the hopeless empire? I want to live that every single day.

"But our hearts. Oh, our hearts. When opened up. When directed fully and completely outward towards one another. When placed fully at the center of our lives and politics. Our hearts are indestructible. Our hearts will live forever."
