Quote

The theoretician of the Marxist revolution in Cuba certainly wasn't Castro. It was Don Carlos Rafaelo Rodriguez. He was the theoretician and very often people say he will take over. But I don't believe it. I think that it's a very good combination - the Catholic man working together with a man like that who has everything pretty well planned.

It is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
Image
What we would like to do is change the world...by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world.
Dorothy Day
Image
We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.

You see I'm such a fool that I'm never afraid of appearing foolish.

Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.
Dorothy Day
Image
I cannot worry much about your sins and miseries when I have so many of my own. I can only love you all, poor fellow travellers, fellow sufferers. I do not want to add one least straw to the burden you already carry.
Dorothy Day
Image
I think one of the things we must constantly keep in mind is, 'If anybody hits you on one cheek, turn the other.'
Dorothy Day
Image
I think that just as we're in the nuclear era we're also in an era of non-violence. It's undefeatable.

Thank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.

When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.

One of the disconcerting facts about the spiritual life is that God takes you at your word.

Image
The only solution is love.
Dorothy Day
Image
It is we ourselves that we have to think about, no one else. That is the way the saints worked. They paid attention to what they were doing, and if others were attracted to them by their enterprise, why, well and good. But they looked to themselves first of all.

Some can go further than others.

If you have two coats, one of them belongs to the poor.

We certainly can try to grow in love, and it is good practice, this giving what we've got, whether it is a cup of coffee or money to pay the grocery bill.

We are all one body, we are all one.

Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.

People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do.

God forbid we should have great institutions. The thing is to have many small centres. The ideal is community.
