    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.
