“My philosophy is very simple. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just; say something! Do something! Get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble.”
“People who start movements do so not because they hate an institution, but because they love it too much to let it descend to its lowest form.”
- Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach (1998)
