Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.

People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation.

Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.
