	George Eliot Quoted in Robert Coles' A Call To Service                                                                                                                                                "For the fragment of a life...is not...an even web: promises may not be kept, and an ardent outset may be followed by declension, latent powers may find their long-awaited opportunity: a past error may urge a grand retrieval."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Joseph Campbell "Sacrifice & Bliss" "You are not the final term of your being."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Deitrich Bonhoeffer Letters and Papers from Prison "Men go to God when he is sore bested, find him poor and scorned, without        shelter or bread Whelmed under weight of the wicked         the weak, the dead; Christians stand by God in his hour           of grieveing."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Adrienne Rich "Natural Resrources" "I am moved by all i cannot save So much has been destroyed I have to cast my lot With those who age after age With no extraordinary power Reconsitute the world."
	Dorothy Day Co-founder of The Catholic Worker Movement                                                                                                                                                   "It is my vocation to agitate, to be a journalist, a pamphleteer, and now my time must be spent in these cities, these slums."                                                                                                                                                                    Leonardo Boff Relentless Persistence "Behind every concerted non-violent struggle there is a powerful mistica: the conviction that truth, justice, and love are ontological...tied to the very structure of reality, of being human.  No matter how much they are violated they always persist."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Aeschylus                                                                                                                                                                                                   Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own...despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
	Helen Keller Human Rights Activist                                                                                                                                                     "The world if full of suffering; it is also full of overcoming it."

	Avery Weisman Psychotherapist                                                                                                                                                       "Existentialists realize that categories, rating scales, rational standards, and impersonal explanations fail to capture the living stinging moment of reality."
	Don Quizote "They inflict wounds, Sancho, a sign we are advancing."
	Alice Walker Besides/my struggle was always against/an inner darkness: I carry within myself/the only known keys/to my death.../....the healing/of all our wounds/is forgiveness/that permits a promise/of our return/at the end."
