You write in order to change the world,
knowing perfectly well that you probably can't,
but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world...
The world changes according to the way people see it,
and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...
people look at reality, then you can change it.
~James Arthur Baldwin~
We are sometimes made aware of
a kindness long passed,
and realize that there have been times
when our friends' thoughts of us
were of so pure and lofty a character
that they passed over us like the winds
of heaven unnoticed; when they treated us
not as what we were,
but as what we aspired to be.
~Henry David Thoreau~
