Among his gems:

• Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
• Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

• what else can one do when he is alone in a narrow jail cell, other than write long letters, think long thoughts and pray long prayers?

Anyone who has ever tried to work from home with small children knows that such a thing is nearly impossible. Even trying to squeeze in a phone call can be difficult. Some enterprising souls in New York City have combined a workspace with day care. Two Rooms allows freelancers, part-timers and other flexibly-scheduled parents to really get some work done, while their children play in the next room.
