“There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system.

—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)

“The other side of the globe is but the home of our correspondent. Our voyaging is only great-circle sailing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Christ and The Church: If he were to apply for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty, adultery and desertion, he would probably get one.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
