Quotes

 * And as I groped in darkness and felt the pain of million, gradually, like day driving night across the continent, I saw dawn upon them like the sun a vision of a time when all men walk proudly through the earth and the bombs and missiles lie at the bottom of the ocean like the bones of dinosaurs buried under the shale of eras, and men strive with each other not for power or the accumulation of paper but in joy create for others the house, the poem, the game of athletic beauty.
 * "Roses and Revolutions"
