quote
“The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficient distance, and it straightens itself to the average tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. Act singly, and what you have already done singly will justify you now.”

| Inspiring and enraging. Inspiring because "Tante Anna" Essinger was both an educator and a hero, who saved lives and created an environment where children thrived and grew up to be artists, scientists and journalists. Enraging because of all the othe ...more | |
