[E]very human life is a reflection of divinity, and… every act of injustice mars and defaces the image of God in man. – Martin Luther King,Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. – Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
