It Takes More Time And Effort And Delicacy To Learn The Silence Of A People Than To Learn Its Sounds. Some People Have A Special Gift For This. Perhaps This Explains Why Some Missionaries, Notwithstanding Their Efforts, Never Come To Speak Properly, To Communicate Delicately Through Silences. Although They "speak With The Accent Of Natives" They Remain Forever Thousands Of Miles Away. The Learning Of The Grammar Of Silence Is An Art Much More Difficult To Learn Than The Grammar Of Sounds.

I Believe That A Desirable Future Depends On Our Deliberately Choosing A Life Of Action Over A Life Of Consumption, On Our Engendering A Lifestyle Which Will Enable Us To Be Spontaneous, Independent, Yet Related To Each Other, Rather Than Maintaining A Lifestyle Which Only Allows To Make And Unmake, Produce And Consume - A Style Of Life Which Is Merely A Way Station On The Road To The Depletion And Pollution Of The Environment. The Future Depends More Upon Our Choice Of Institutions Which Support A Life Of Action Than On Our Developing New Ideologies And Technologies.
