    “Lord, how can man preach thy eternall word?

    This glorious and transcendent place,
    To be a window, through thy grace.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “In a period of a people’s life that bears the designation “transitional,” the task of a thinking individual, of a sincere citizen of his country, is to go forward, despite the dirt and difficulty of the path, to go forward without losing from view even for a moment those fundamental ideals on which the entire existence of the society to which he belongs is built.”
    —Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
