Whose Life Matters Quotes

“Whose life matters to you?
Who do you speak for?
Who do you defend?
How large is your vision of the world?
How much pain and destruction of others
is too much for you to stand?

We all must ask ourselves those questions right now.
Ask and ponder and ask again.
We all must ask each other these questions.
And the answers will lead us to what we must do--
individually and collectively, small and large actions--
what we must do.”
― Shellen Lubin

“Things are getting ugly
very quickly,
and I see the fault lines getting darker, thicker,
more deeply embedded in the ground where we tread.
I see clearly, quickly the ones who are expendable
for too many people who are still comfortable
or believe they are comfortable
or believe they are somehow exempt from the wrath
of those trying to turn back time
to a world of kings and lords and peasants,
artists begging for pennies town to town,
lordly religious righteousness,
and pagans and witches
and those who are disabled or just 'different'
burned at the stake.”
