Sage Words from Dr. Cornel West

“The country is in deep trouble. We’ve forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice. In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing, and just hoping to land on something. But that’s the struggle. To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word.” ―Dr. Cornel West

I love this man’s work and voice with a screaming passion. If you haven’t read “Hope On A Tightrope,” check it out- such a remarkable and enlightening read.
