Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart. ↗

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person. ↗

Every good law or case you study was once a dream. Every good law or case you study was dismissed as impossible or impractical for decades before it was enacted. Give your creative thoughts free reign, for it is only in the hearts and dreams of people seeking a better world that true social justice has a chance. Finally, remember that we cannot give what we do not have. If we do not love ourselves, we will be hard pressed to love others. If we are not just with ourselves, we will find it very difficult to look for justice with others. In order to become and remain a social justice advocate, you must live a healthy life. Take care of yourself as well as others. Invest in yourself as well as in others. No one can build a house of justice on a foundation of injustice. Love yourself and be just to yourself and do the same with others. As you become a social justice advocate, you will experience joy, inspiration and love in abundant measure. ↗

When you can't do something truly useful, you tend to vent the pent up energy in something useless but available, like snappy dressing. ↗

We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar. ↗
