"The human spirit glows from that small  inner light of doubt whether we are right,  while those who believe with certainty  that they possess the right are dark inside  and darken the world outside  with cruelty, pain, and injustice." - Saul D. Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals

  I am filled with the seed Of thy noble spirit, A glowing spark That is embedded Deep in matter; For thou hast set The soul in the world, And hast, O my ruler, Through this soul, Set my spirit in my body. Kindle therefore, O my Lord, Lights that will lead me on high, Let the brightness shine forth And blaze as a fire. Magnify the tiny spark Within the crown Of my head. Synesius of Cyrene (c.370-c.413)
