"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, agression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

“They might not need me; but they might. I’ll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.” –Emily Dickinson

Here I Am
My name is Claire Miller and I'm a student at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. Welcome to my thoughts!
Unfortunately, I'm not in Oxford anymore. But I'm back in Athens, busy as usual...trying to write in this blog when I'm not out reporting for the Red and Black or doing homework. Thanks for stopping by!

Song Stuck in My Head
"Well you're magic he said / But don't let it all go to your head / 'Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out then you'd never get out of bed / Well no doubt / Of all the things that I've read what he wrote me / Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be / Keep on keeping it real / 'Cause it keeps getting easier he'll see / He's the reason that I'm laughing / Even if there's no one else / He said, you've got to love yourself /
He said you shouldn't mumble when you speak / But keep your tongue up in your cheek / And if you stumble onto something better remember that it's humble that you seek / And you've got all the skill you need / Individuality / You've got something, call it gumption, call it anything you want / Because when you play the fool now / You're only fooling everyone else / You're learning to love yourself /
Yes you are / You are / Yes you, you /
There's no price to pay / When you give and what you take / That's why it's easy to thank you / You, you, you, you, you /
Let's say take a break from our day and get back to the old garage / Because life's too short anyway but at least it's better than average / As long as you've got me and I've got you, you know we've got a lot to go around / I'll be your friend, your other brother / Another love to come and comfort you / And I'll keep reminding if it's the only thing I ever do / I will always love you / You, you, you, you /
It's true I love it's true I love it's you it's you I love /
Climb up over the top / Survey the state of the soul / You've got to find out for yourself / Whether or not you're truly trying / Why not give it a shot / Shake it, take control / And inevitably wind up / Finding for yourself / All the strengths that you have inside of you."
-Jason Mraz, "Song for a Friend"
