Parker Palmer Quote: “America’s freedom of religion, and freedom…”

Elaine Pagels Quote: “I have sympathy for anyone who…”

I have sympathy for anyone who finds consolation anywhere we can. And many people do find it in religious tradition as it has been. I mean, I love much of that tradition. But somehow, that just didn’t speak to me in the way that it does to some.

August 14, 2021 1946, American, April 26, Marilyn Nelson, Quotes by Poets

Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote: “In this constant battle which we…”

In this constant battle which we call living, we try to set a code of conduct according to the society in which we are brought up, whether it be a Communist society or a so-called free society; we accept a standard of behaviour as part of our tradition as Hindus or Muslims or Christians or whatever we happen to be.

August 13, 2021 1895, Indian, Jiddu Krishnamurti, May 12, Quotes by Philosophers
