"In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists." "Man was nature’s mistake she neglected to finish him and she has never ceased paying for her mistake." More In Power "King’s response to our crisis can be put in one word: revolution. A revolution in our priorities, a reevaluation of our values, a reinvigoration of our public life and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living that promotes a transfer of power from oligarchs and plutocrats to everyday people and ordinary citizens."― Cornel West "Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence."― Thomas Jefferson "Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate."― Harvey Fierstein
