“What can I say that I have not said before?
So I'll say it again.
The leaf has a song in it.
Stone is the face of patience.
Inside the river there is an unfinishable story and you are somewhere in it and it will never end until all ends.
Take your busy heart to the art museum and the chamber of commerce
but take it also to the forest.
The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child is singing still.
I am of years lived, so far, seventy-four, and the leaf is singing still.”
~Mary Oliver

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” — James Baldwin
Baldwin draws a line: disagreement is healthy—but not when it denies someone’s identity or dignity. Debate should never be a disguise for dehumanization. Love cannot thrive where oppression lives. Human rights are not opinions—they’re the baseline of moral discourse.
