A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .

Reading a book on any level beyond the elementary is essentially an effort on your part to ask it questions (and to answer them to the best of your ability) . That should never be forgotten. And that is why there is all the difference in the world between the demanding and the undemanding reader.

How to Read a Book

Mortimer J. Adler

I firmly believe that the protagonism of everyone, including rich folks, actually matters — it’s not only about getting in line behind working-class movements, though that is vital. __It’s about each of us actually bringing our own influence, agency, power, and resources to the table.__ This full-bodied protagonism is what rich folks need to move from guilt- and shame-driven redistribution to a lasting role in systems change. US capitalism, in my humble opinion, will not change without strategic action from the wealthy and those with access to wealth.

"Organizing Is a Skill Like Anything Else. You Can Learn It."

Michael Gast

The philosophical question about whether the actor or activist in civil society who has become skilled in presenting different faces to different audiences is, somehow, less authentic or honest than the activist who remains consistent to a single idea or ideal is, in my view, less important sociologically than to root both of these strategies in their social context. (Stubbs, 2006: 3)

Janet Newman and John Clarke
