"When he shall die,
take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will
make the face of heaven
so fine, that all the world will be in love with
night, and pay no worship
to the garish sun."
William Shakespeare, from Romeo and Juliet

"Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of
events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this
generation ... It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that
human history is thus shaped.
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot
of others, or strikes
out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny
ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a
million different
centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can
sweep down
the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Like it or not, we live in interesting times, and everyone here
will ultimately be judged, will ultimately judge himself, on the
effort he has contributed to building a new world society, and the
extent to which his ideals and goals have shaped that effort."
Robert Francis Kennedy
