“We have not reached the consensus that to eat is a basic human right. This is an ethical crisis. This is a crisis of faith.”

“The crisis of physical hunger is essentially a crisis of faith. What or whom will you trust to meet your most basic needs? Will you trust the God who made human bodies, or will you seek your own way? (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)”

“There are two kinds of women--those who eat in a crisis and those who lose their appetite in a crisis.”

“We have to see that the economy is not "in" crisis, the economy is itself the crisis. It's not that there's not enough work, it's that there is too much of it.”

“Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for crisis.”
