But [...] I felt that even if one did not have an ideal vision of society, one could have one’s work to do. Whether it was successful or not was not our concern; it was enough that we believed it to be a valid work. The accomplishment of that work, I believed, was what our real life was about. Yes. I want to carry out a work of my own; for I feel that by so doing our lives are rooted in the here and now, not in some far-off ideal goal."

"Not result is the purpose of action, but Gods eternal delight in becoming, seeing and doing."

"I would rather work with five people who really believe in what they are doing rather than five hundred who cant see the point."
