"Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach." - Clarissa Pinkola Estés
"My continuing passion is to part a curtain, that invisible veil of indifference that falls between us and that blinds us to each other's presence, each other's wonder, each other's human plight." - Eudora Welty
