“We stand here confronted by insurmountable opportunities.” - Pogo (as recorded by Walt Kelly)
"...but the light will come, there also. For it is the dawn that has come, as it has come for a thousand centuries, never failing. But when that dawn will come,
of our emancipation, from the fear of bondage and the bondage of fear, why, that is a secret."
- Alan Paton, from the last paragraph of Cry, the Beloved Country"
