Dorothea Dix Quote: “Jasmine, the name of which signifies…”

Jasmine, the name of which signifies fragrance, is the emblem of delicacy and elegance. It is reared with difficulty in New England, but at the South, puts forth all its graces.

Ramana Maharshi Quote: “Concentration of the mind is in…”

Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.

Al Sharpton Quote: “From racial profiling and being pulled…”

From racial profiling and being pulled over just for ‘driving while black’ to this new phenomenon of killing unarmed people out of some preconceived idea of fear, our lives and our children’s lives are not being valued.

Henrik Ibsen Quote: “I’m afraid for all those who’ll…”

September 29, 2021 1828, Henrik Ibsen, March 20, Norwegian, Quotes by Poets

Nick Turse Quote: “Secret ops by secret forces have…”

Secret ops by secret forces have a nasty tendency to produce unintended, unforeseen, and completely disastrous consequences. New Yorkers will remember well the end result of clandestine U.S. support for Islamic militants against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan during the 1980s: 9/11.

September 29, 2021 1975, American, Nick Turse, Quotes by Historians

Frances O’Grady Quote: “Would I describe myself as new…”

Would I describe myself as new Labour? I’m Labour, organised Labour. I think labels have a limited use and that’s where you really get into boy stuff sometimes, just sticking on labels.

September 28, 2021 1959, British, Frances O'Grady, November 9, Quotes by Activists

Octavio Paz Quote: “Poems – crystallizations of the universal…”

September 25, 2021 1914, March 31, Mexican, Octavio Paz, Quotes by Poets
