While the spirit of neighborliness was important on the frontier because neighbors were so few, it is even more important now because our neighbors are so many. – Lady Bird Johnson

Let there be a small country with few people . . .
Though neighboring communities overlook one another and the crowing of cocks and barking of dogs can be heard,
Yet the people there may grow old and die without ever visiting one another. – Lao-Tzu

Theres a reason why every human society has fiction. It teaches us how to be good, to behave in a way that is for the benefit of the whole community. – Orson Scott Card
