Irresistible Revolution
A few things that have already hit me just in the Authors note
"There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth. And let’s not get stuck in guilt. Most good things begin with a little guilt, but they never end there.", [The Irresistible Revolution]
"I am one voice among the chorus that creates the harmony of our movement.", [The Irresistible Revolution]
We read about people who make a huge impact and are extraordinary and we want to be like that but we expect it to fall in our laps and just happen if it was meant to be. We cant expect change to happen on its own and this quote from a speech says it best.
“some of us may be little men, some may be big but whether we are small men or big, for the moment we represent a great cause and
therefore something of the shadow of greatness falls upon us. Today in this Assembly we represent a mighty cause and this Resolution
that I have placed before you give some semblance of that cause. [P360 Independence and After: A Collection of Speeches, 1946-1949
By Jawaharlal Nehru]
