Look the world straight in the eye. - Helen Keller

فالمرء حين يقرأ على عجلة وفى حالة من العصبية والارتباك دون ان يفكر فى شئ غير الاختبارات والامتحانات التحريرية , يصبح ذهنة مثقلا بقدر ضخم من المعلومات التى لاتبدو أكثر من مجرد حشو لاطائل من ورائه ولا فائدة

For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.

I distrust the rash optimism in this country that cries, “Hurrah, we’re all right! This is the greatest nation on earth,” when there are grievances that call loudly for redress.
