For all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure.

I&#39;ve discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don&#39;t like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.

In mari's view this difficulty was due not to chaos or disorganization or anarchy , but to an excess of order. Society had more &amp; more rules , and laws that contradicted the rules , and new rules that contradicted the laws.

That&#39;s why I wrote this book: to show how these people can imbue us with hope. I read somewhere that when a person takes part in community action, his health improves. Something happens to him or to her biologically. It&#39;s like a tonic.

If solace is any sort of succor to someone, that is sufficient. I believe in the faith of people, whatever faith they may have.

I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it.

I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it&#39;s now.
