    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Just as we are learning to value and conserve the air we breathe, the water we drink, the energy we use, we must learn to value and conserve our capacity for nurture. Otherwise, in the name of human potential we will slowly but surely erode the source of our humanity.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
