"Another world is not only possible, she's on the way and, on a quiet day, if you listen very carefully you can hear her breathe."

Sometimes there's truth in old cliches. There can be no real peace without justice. And without resistance there will be no justice.

An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire (2005)
