We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. – Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963
What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs? – George Eliot
