  Dennis Kucinich

  Mean, Light, Self

  Dennis Kucinich's Address to the Praxis Peace Institute Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia, June 9, 2002.

  Though hands will reach, and eyes will yearn,
  And the wild days set true hearts bleeding.

• Partnerships are increasingly seen through the prism of promises and expectations, and as a kind of product for consumers: satisfaction on the spot, and if not fully satisfied, return the product to the shop or replace it with a new and improved one! You don't, after all, stick to your car, or computer, or iPod, when better ones appear.

  Zygmunt Bauman

• It has been said that in the New Testament doctrine is grace; and ethics is gratitude; and something is wrong with any form of Christianity in which, experimentally and practically, this saying is not being verified. Those who suppose that the doctrine of God's grace tends to encourage moral laxity are simply showing that, in the most literal sense, they do not know what they are talking about. For love awakens love in return; and love, once awakened, desires to give pleasure.

  J. I. Packer

• By writing her self, woman will return to the body which has been more than confiscated from her, which has been turned into the uncanny stranger on display - the ailing or dead figure, which so often turns out to be the nasty companion, the cause and location of inhibitions. Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time.
  Write your self. Your body must be heard. Only then will the immense resources of the unconscious spring forth.

  Helene Cixous

• Assuredly there is but one way in which to achieve what is not merely difficult but utterly against human nature: to love those who hate us, to repay their evil deeds with benefits, to return blessings for reproaches. It is that we remember not to consider men's evil intention but to look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and dignity allures us to love and embrace them.

  John Calvin

  Love, Hate, Blessing

• Since thy return, through days and weeks
  Of hope that grew by stealth,
  How many wan and faded cheeks
  Have kindled into health!
  The Old, by thee revived, have said,
  'Another year is ours;'
  And wayworn Wanderers, poorly fed,
  Have smiled upon thy flowers.

  William Wordsworth
