Quotes

• And as I groped in darkness
  and felt the pain of million,
  gradually, like day driving night across the continent,
  I saw dawn upon them like the sun a vision
  of a time when all men walk proudly through the earth
  and the bombs and missiles lie at the bottom of the ocean
  like the bones of dinosaurs buried under the shale of eras,
  and men strive with each other not for power or the
  accumulation of paper
  but in joy create for others the house, the poem, the game
  of athletic beauty.

• "Roses and Revolutions"
