“The soul is always on the side of the one who is listening. And half the reason is that in silence the soul moves, in speech or thinking… it is something else. Judgment is one with the one who is in silence, and more still with those who have no voice with which to speak or no power to be heard. The greatest of these are the myriad dead from whom our spirit finds is origin and with whom it shall, soon enough, belong. Yet amongst us, there are the children. And the prisoners. Or, more truthfully, within us. Perhaps, in our time, they shall find a voice that is true, for such a voice could redeem human history and preserve a world more precious than all that is demanded and celebrated instead.”
