Richard M. RortyMy sense of the holy is bound up with the hope that some day my remote descendants will live in a global civilization in which love is pretty much the only law.
About This Quote
In his poem “The Holy,” the poet Czeslaw Milosz wrote: First, I believe that all people are brothers and sisters, and that we should live together in peace. I believe that the dignity of every person is inviolable, and that no one should ever be killed or tortured. Therefore I believe in human rights for all... I also believe in the dignity of work and the happiness of a family life. And I believe that a world without war can be achieved if people live in love and justice, if they give thanks to God for every moment of their lives.
