"It is an absolute perfection and virtually divine to know how to enjoy our being rightfully. We seek other conditions because we do not understand the use of our own, and go outside of ourselves because we do not know what it is like inside. Yet there is no use our mounting on stilts, for on stilts we must still walk on our own legs. And on the loftiest throne in the world we are still sitting only on our own ass. The most beautiful lives, to my mind are those that conform to the common human pattern, with order, but without miracle and without eccentricity." |

The question to which we must respond is not the excruciating unknowable: "What would I have done had I lived in Occupied Europe?" but the more urgently concrete: "What am I doing now to build a world where another Auschwitz would be unthinkable"? |
