The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that [we are] here for the sake of other[s] – above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
― Albert Einstein, “What I Believe” as published in Forum and Century 84 (October 1930), no. 4, 193–194
