St. James

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace"
-JIMI HENDRIX

"God is Light, not darkness. God is love, not hate. God is Truth, not untruth. God alone is Great; Not to believe in the possibility of permanent peace is to disbelieve in the Godliness of human nature."
-MAHATMA GHANDI

"Mrs. Joe was a very clean housekeeper, but had an exquisite art of making her cleanliness more uncomfortable and unacceptable than dirt itself. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and some people do the same by their religion."
-CHARLES DICKENS

"Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned everywhere is war ...until the colour of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes everywhere is war"
-HAILIE SELASSIE thru BOB MARLEY

"Everyone wishes to be loved, but in the event, nearly no one can bear it. Everyone desires love but also finds it impossible to believe that he deserves it. However great the private disasters to which love may lead, love itself is strikingly and mysteriously impersonal; it is a reality which is not altered by anything one does. Therefore, one does many things, turns the key in the lock over and over again, hoping to be locked out. Once locked out, one will never again be forced to encounter in the eyes of a stranger who loves him the impenetrable truth concerning the stranger, oneself, who is loved. And yet--one would prefer, after all, not to be locked out. One would prefer, merely, that the key unlocked a less stunningly unusual door."
-JAMES BALDWIN

"Not strong
Only aggressive
Not free
We only licensed
Not compassioniate, only polite
Now who the nicest?
Not good but well behaved
Chasin after death
so we can call ourselves brave?
Still livin like mental slaves
-BLACK STAR
