More quotes by Dorothy Day

Dorothy Day

Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
Dorothy Day

Dorothy Day
What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?

Dorothy Day
Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?
Dorothy Day
The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community.
Dorothy Day
I do not know how to love God except by loving the poor. I do not know how to serve God except by serving the poor.... Here, within this great city of nine million people, we must, in this neighborhood, on this street, in this parish, regain a sense of community which is the basis for peace in the world.
Dorothy Day
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
When they call you a saint, it means basically that you are not to be taken seriously.
Dorothy Day
