Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1865
Second Inaugural Address
Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, & a result less fundamental & astounding.
Β«All those who thought this war would soon end have long since perished in this very war.Β»
β Pierre Lemaitre, opening line of *Reunion at the End of the World*
"Wars to do not begin with a declaration, nor do they end with a treaty."
This one has been a long time coming.

In a time of destruction, create something: a poem, a parade, a community, a school, a vow, a moral principle; one peaceful moment.

And Eliot corresponded with ... Groucho Marx !
In the depth of winter
I finally learned that
within me there lay
an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.
For it says that no matter
how hard the world pushes
against me, within me
there's something stronger
β something better,
pushing right back.
β Albert Camus
#Power without love is reckless & abusive, & #love without power is sentimental & anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, & justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
β Martin Luther King Jr.
Only when the last tree has died & the last river been poisoned & the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.
