    “All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
