“THE FACE OF HISTORY is not in the well-preserved faces of the famous, but in the remains of those who lived in the moment”

“To those who have faced death with courage, and lived life to its fullest,eternity is but a moment in time, of complete and utter fulfillment.”

“There is no bleaker moment in life of the city than that one which crosses the boundary lines between those who have not slept all night and those who are going to work. It was for Sabina as if two races of men and women lived on earth, the night people and the day people, never meeting face to face except at this moment.”

“Even in the face of powerful structures of domination, it remains possible for each of us, especially those of us who are members of oppressed and/or exploited groups as well as those radical visionaries who may have race, class, and sex privilege, to define and determine alternative standards, to decide on the nature and extent of compromise.”

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”

“We wear on our faces the results of what we believe and how we behave, and such behavior is most evident in the eyes and on the faces of those who have lived many years.”
