until one moves, moves that dart-beak
breaking over.”

“Our doubts are traitors,
And makes us lose the good we oft might win,
By fearing to attempt.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We have imagined ourselves a special creation, set apart from other humans. In the last twentieth century, we see that our poverty is as absolute as that of the poorest nations. We have attempted to deny the human condition in our quest for power after power. It would be well for us to rejoin the human race, to accept our essential poverty as a gift, and to share our material wealth with those in need.”
—Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)
