"Vulnerability is when you can't make things happen yourself and utterly rely on others... you can be wounded." - Diane Langberg

"Whenever there is an abuse of power, there is deception.

Deception both precedes and protects abuse of power.

Deception is how we get used to things we would not normally do.

As we practice it, the deception grows and our capacity to see it, lessens." - Diane Langberg
