“When Death Comes”
When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
Mary Oliver, 1935-2018, poet, Pulitzer Prize

“The failure of just one person to join, to participate, to do whatever he or she can… may mean that there is just one too few to win the fight“
from Douglas Moore’s Art of Quotation
“What can you or I do? Alone, almost nothing. Yet one person – you alone – can make the difference. . . .
The failure of just one person to join, to participate, to do whatever he or she can – your failure or my failure – may mean that there is just one too few to win the fight
for sanity, and so leave the world on the road to destruction. Each of us, all of us, must do what we can.”
Archibald Cox, lawyer, professor, special prosecutor/ Watergate
