A lesson of World War II should be that a civilized society must be one that defends diversity of belief; if so, we seem to be becoming less civilized. Combining intolerance with the power of the weaponry born of contemporary technology is producing a lethal brew. We must learn the lessons of history lest we put our whole civilization at risk.
-- David Baltimore (American Scientist (Jan 2007))

I do think that if I had to choose one word to which hope can be tied it is hospitality. A practice of hospitality -- recovering threshold, table, patience, listening, and from there generating seedbeds for virtue and friendship on the one hand -- on the other hand radiating out for possible community, for rebirth of community.
-- Ivan Illich (1996 Interview)
