Quotes
The souls of people, on their way to Earth-life, pass through a room full of lights; each takes a taper--often only a
spark--to guide it in the dim country of this world. But some souls, by rare fortune, are detained longer--and have time to grab a handful of tapers, which they weave into a torch. These are
the torch-bearers of humanity-- it's poets, seers, and saints, who lead and lift the race out of darkness, toward the light. They are the law-givers and saviors, the light-bringers,
way-showers and truth -tellers, and without them, humanity would lose its way in the dark.
Plato
We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without
wisdom; power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants, and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.
General Omar Bradley

U.S. Joint chiefs of Staff
Give peace a chance!
John Lennon, 1969
Woe is to you who cannot read the signs of the times...
Saint Luke
