Do the Duty which lies nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a Duty! Thy second Duty will already have become clearer.

Thomas Carlyle

Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.

E. L. Doctorow

Lionel Trilling

It is not right to walk alone on the golden road of truth! Enlighten as many people as you can and walk with them!
