Jean Vanier Quotes

Those Who Are Weak Have Great Difficulty Finding Their Place In Our Society. The Image Of The Ideal Human As Powerful And Capable Disenfranchises The Old, The Sick, The Less-abled. For Me, Society Must, By Definition, Be Inclusive Of The Needs And Gifts Of All Its Members. How Can We Lay Claim To Making An Open And Friendly Society Where Human Rights Are Respected And Fostered When, By The Values We Teach And Foster, We Systematically Exclude Segments Of Our Population? I Believe That Those We Most Often Exclude From The Normal Life Of Society, People With Disabilities, Have Profound Lessons To Teach Us. When We Do Include Them, They Add Richly To Our Lives And Add Immensely To Our World.
