quote for today

you may recall the little Solzhenitsyn kick a month or so ago. here's a pretty little quote from him. i'm not sure he's right, but it's an interesting point. Spiritual Blaze by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. From his commencement address at Harvard in 1978. "If the world has not approached its end, it has reached a major watershed in history, equal in importance to the turn from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It will demand from us a spiritual blaze, we shall have to rise to a new height of vision, to a new level of life where our physical nature will not be cursed as in the Middle Ages, but even more importantly, our spiritual being will not be trampled upon as in the Modern Era...No one on earth has any other way left butóupwards."
