More From Erin Gruwell

Human beings need community. if there are no communities available for constructive ends, there will be destructive, murderous communities... only the social sector, that is, the nongovernmental, nonprofit organization, can create what we now need, communities for citizens... what the dawning 21st century needs above all is equally explosive growth of the nonprofit social sector in building communities in the newly dominant social environment, the city.

Latino actors and actresses have had to struggle for decades, but when i came around with real women have curves, attitudes were starting to change. we screened the film all over the world - in jewish communities, black communities, greek communities, german communities - and people across the board said, "that's my family."

The broadway community is unlike any community in show business and it is unlike any community in the world. when you come into the broadway community they open the door and they say "welcome". not only do they do that, but when times are really tough and horrendous things have happened and really tragic things - the broadway community shows up! and they say "how can we help?".

Mass incarceration is a policy that's kind of built up over the last four decades and it's destroyed families and communities, and something we need to change. and it's fallen disproportionally on black and brown communities, especially black communities, and it's kind of a manifestation of structural racism.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character; it becomes lack of power to act with courage proportionate to danger. all this must lead to the destruction of our intellectual life unless the danger summons up strong personalities able to fill the lukewarm and discouraged with new strength and resolution.

The united states, as the world knows, will never start a war. we do not want a war. we do not now expect a war. this generation of americans has already had enough - more than enough - of war and hate and oppression. we shall be prepared if others wish it. we shall be alert to try to stop it. but we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. we are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. confident and unafraid, we labor on - not toward a strategy of annihilation but toward a strategy of peace.
