Chris Hedges Quotes
You rebel not only for what you can achieve, but for who you become. In the end, those who rebel require faith - not a formal or necessarily Christian, Jewish or Muslim orthodoxy, but a faith that the good draws to it the good. That we are called to carry out the good insofar as we can determine what the good is.
