More quotes by Dorothy Day
Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.
Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
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
I think anarchy is natural to the Catholic. The Church is pretty anarchistic, you know. Who pays attention to the Pope or the Cardinals?
Dorothy Day
Be close enough to people so that you are indifferent to the material. And also have faith.
Dorothy Day
We want no revolution we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. And now - strange thought - the devil has so maneuvered that the people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.
Dorothy Day
Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
Dorothy Day
I think that just as we're in the nuclear era we're also in an era of non-violence. It's undefeatable.
Dorothy Day
A conversion is a lonely experience.
Dorothy Day
People, wherever they are, can make a community.
Dorothy Day
The sense is always that community is natural to people.
Dorothy Day
The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?
Dorothy Day
Think what the world could look like if we took care of the poor even half as well as we do our Bibles!
Dorothy Day
We believe in loving our brothers regardless of race, color or creed and we believe in showing this love by working for better conditions immediately and the ultimate owning by the workers of their means of production.
Dorothy Day
It wasn't until Castro marched triumphantly into Cuba that you might say the whole thing grew into a Marxist revolution.
Dorothy Day
The holy man was the whole man, the man of integrity, who not only tried to change the world, but to live in it as it was.
Dorothy Day
The mystery of poverty is that by sharing in it, making ourselves poor in giving to others, we increase our knowledge of and belief in love.
Dorothy Day
Castro wasn't a Marxist. He was a Catholic educated by the Christian Brothers and the Jesuits. But fundamentally, I'm not talking about practising Catholics, but rather about something which is inbred that is, a part of your country, your heritage, your life.
Dorothy Day
It is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
Some have more capacity. Some proceed a few steps along the way. But Christ seemed to love all men. He desired all to be saved.
Dorothy Day
