“The country is in deep trouble. We've forgotten that a rich life
consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world
a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question
the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil
and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice.
In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing, and
just hoping to land on something. But that's the struggle.
To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair
to have the last word.”
― Cornel West, philosopher
