Through this journal, we are inviting you into a new way of thinking and doing, one which begins with questioning everything we take for granted.
In particular, how we contribute – or think we contribute – to a better world. We will not have all the answers, but we want to ask better questions.
“The vicarious responsibility for things we have not done, this taking upon ourselves the consequences for things we are entirely innocent of, is the price we pay for the fact that we live our lives not by ourselves but among our fellow men, and that the faculty of action, which, after all, is the political faculty par excellence, can be actualized only as one of the many and manifold forces of human community.” — Hannah Arendt
“We must laugh in the face of our helplessness against the forces of nature — or go insane.” — Charlie Chaplin
“When you see people call themselves revolutionary, always talking about destroying, destroying, destroying but never talking about building or creating, they're not revolutionary. They do not understand the first thing about revolution. It's creating.” — Kwame Ture
“It may seem strange that people who have already attained a position of power through violence invest so much time in justifying their plunder with words. But even plunderers are human beings whose violent ambitions must contend with the guilt that gnaws at them when they meet the eyes of their victims.” — Ta-Nehisi Coates
“This is not a time for the weak. This is a time for people who have a deep moral and spiritual vision of the future of humankind.” — Payam Akhavan
“It’s embarrassing that after 45 years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other.” — Aldous Huxley
“It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.” — Franz Kafka
