Truth will never start out popular in a world more concerned with marketability than righteousness. It will initially suffer ridicule and even violence — yet ultimately it is undeniable. All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences.

Quotes[edit]

  • If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise? Truth will never start out popular in a world more concerned with marketability than righteousness. It will initially suffer ridicule and even violence — yet ultimately it is undeniable. All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences.

Quotes about Lauryn Hill[edit]

  • From the moment I first heard Lauryn Hill's song about becoming a mother, I knew that I would name my child Zion. "Now the joy of my world is in Zion / Now the joy of my world is in Zion," she sang. I wept out loud the first time I heard the song. It touched me to my soul.
