• The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own traveling brotherhood.

• Where beats a heart within a human breast,
  There be Thou present, and Thy power adored!
  And oh! since all one common race are doom'd
  To run, and one eternal goal to reach,
  May Thy prime attribute each bosom warm
  With tender sympathy and truth; may man
  To man be link'd to man in fellowship of soul,
  Till one vast chain of Love embrace the world!

• I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.
