Curiosity is my natural state and has led me headlong into every worthwhile experience (never mind the others) I have ever had.
Alice Walker
Image
Critics don't really affect the fact that we live in this paradise and what the meaning of that [is]. And what luck to have this!

War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?

But if by some miracle and all our struggle, the earth is spared, only justice to every living being will save humankind.
