Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.
Shane Claiborne
Rather than finding the devil out there, we battle the devil within us. The revolution starts inside each of us.
Shane Claiborne

Shane Claiborne
There are people who are dangerous, and evil is real.
Shane Claiborne
All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tiptoe.
Shane Claiborne
Little movements of communities of ordinary radicals are committed to doing small things with great love.
Shane Claiborne
We say it is idealistic to think we can continue to live the way we live - with 5% of the world using half the world's resources, with $20,000 a second being spent on war.
Shane Claiborne
Over and over, when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands, my feet.
