I'm not interested in anybody's guilt. Guilt is a luxury
that we can no longer afford
I know you didn't do it, and I didn't do it either, but I
am
responsible for it because I am a man and a citizen of
this country
and you are responsible for it, too, for the very same
reason... Anyone
who is trying to be conscious must begin to dismiss the
vocabulary
which we've used so long to cover it up, to lie…
I know reform is never easy. But I know reform
leads to enlightenment. Enlightenment opens the way to
empathy.
If we are to love our neighbors, before
keeping one's self so absorbed intellectually as
to forget the
sufferings and cares
of others, to lose
sympathy
through having too
much
to think about?
How unutterably
deprived!
