I've been rereading CONVERSATIONS IN MAINE.
"Revolutionists have been able to think of a revolution in every sphere except man's concept of himself. Revolutionary struggle consists of a series of illuminations--not simply plodding or leaping from peak to peak. Revolution should be to discover and create where we should be tomorrow, not merely to correct past injustices or put to rights past grievances. Mankind is obviously at a threshold, a border, a frontier. Precisely because of the growing counter-revolutionary danger, it is necessary to utilize the wealth of human resources in this country, including ethnic diversity. The conflicts are not just between rich and poor, or between generations, but between two different concepts of what a human being is."
