[H]uman beings must learn how to be failures and how to cry for help while acknowledging that this very capacity to learn and wisdom to cry out is a form of empowerment from a Reality greater than human beings that keeps people struggling and living. (Cornel West, The Cornel West Reader, p. 388)

Most human history is a history of oligarchs, unaccountable elites, manipulating anger, rage, setting working people against one another to enable those elites to maintain their position. That’s why democracies are so rare in human history. (Cornel West, The Cornel West Reader, p. 509)

[S]exual characteristics … must lose themselves in pure humanity, if the greatest possible beauty is to prevail. (Wilhelm von Humboldt)
