In a world where proverb

 In a world where cultures and religions are recklessly facing off, Sholeh Wolpé writes careful poems that cast a light on some of what we all hold in common.

 In unsettled times like these, when world cultures, countries and religions are facing off in violent confrontations, we could benefit from the reminder that storytelling is common to all civilizations.

  William Collins

  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

  Mahatma Gandhi

 We need to foster a sense of common interest and common values among Americans and people of different faiths and different cultures.

 He made us look closer at where we live. He took pictures of very common things, but captured them in a very uncommon light. He had a marvelous eye for light and shadow that made our everyday world special.

 Oblivion is the dark page whereon memory writes her light-beam characters; were it all light, nothing could be read there, any more than if it were all darkness.
  Thomas Carlyle

 It's not a confrontation between different nations, different cultures or different religions, ... We recommend dialogue between civilizations, coexistence and cooperation.

 It is the duty of every cultured man or woman to read sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty.
  Mahatma Gandhi
