Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.”
― Franklin Delano Roosevelt

― Théophile Gautier

“I was, as the prophet said, hungering and thirsting for righteousness. I found it at the eternal and material core of Christianity: body, blood, bread, wine, poured out freely, shared by all.”
