| "Humankind still lives in
prehistory everywhere, indeed everything awaits the creation of the world
as a genuine one... if human beings have grasped themselves, and what is
theirs, without depersonalization and alienation, founded in real democracy,
then something comes into being in the world that shines into everyone's
childhood and where no one has yet been -- home." --Ernest Bloch |

meet me, I'm comin...home." --Phillipe Wynne |

| All you are ever told in this
country about being black is that it is a terrible, terrible thing to be.
Now, in order to survive this, you have to really dig down into yourself
and re-create yourself, really, according to no image which yet exists in

have to decide who you are, and force the world to deal with you, not with
its idea of you --James Baldwin |

| Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up. -- GK Chesterton |

| "Make no little plans. They
have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized.
Make big plans. Aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical
diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone will be a
living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. " -- Daniel Hudson Burnham |
||
| "The fundamental role of
the public intellectual - distinct from, yet building on, the indispensable
work of academics, experts, analysts, and pundits - is to create and sustain
high-quality public discourse addressing urgent public problems which enlightens
and energizes fellow citizens, prompting them to take public action." -- Cornel West |

| "When there is no hero, you
be the hero." -- Rabbi Hillel |
