The Salvation Of The World Lies In

The Experience I'm Talking About Has Given Me One Certainty: The Salvation Of This Human World Lies Nowhere Else Than In The Human Heart, In The Human Power To Reflect, In Human Meekness And In Human Responsibility. Without A Global Revolution In Human Consciousness, Nothing Will Change For The Better, And The Catastrophe Toward Which This World Is Headed Will Be Unavoidable.

There Is Only One Art, Whose Sole Criterion Is The Power, The Authenticity, The Revelatory Insight, The Courage And Suggestiveness With Which It Seeks Its Truth.

Twenty Or Thirty Years Ago, In The Army, We Had A Lot Of Obscure Adventures, And Years Later We Tell Them At Parties, And Suddenly We Realize That Those Two Very Difficult Years Of Our Lives Have Become Lumped Together Into A Few Episodes That Have Lodged In Our Memory In A Standardized Form, And Are Always Told In A Standardized Way, In The Same Words. But In Fact That Lump Of Memories Has Nothing Whatsoever To Do With Our Experience Of Those Two Years In The Army And What It Has Made Of Us.

I Have Preserved My Identity, Put Its Credibility To The Test And Defended My Dignity. What Good This Will Bring The World I Don't Know. But For Me It Is Good.

The Only Lost Cause Is One We Give Up On Before We Enter The Struggle.
