But our streets are not empty; they are filled with the love and the care that we have for each other.

“We have a great aim before us; a mighty work of reform of ourselves and our lives, of our life in common, of our economy, of our culture. This work does not disturb the rest of the world. We have enough to do in our own house.”

“We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.”

“The Human Species could have been great but instead we became satisfied with lights on our tennis shoes.”
