The last, best fruit which comes to perfection, even in the kindliest
soul, is, tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing,
warmth of heart toward the cold, philanthropy toward the misanthropic.
-- Richter
we must move from ... the primacy of technology toward
considerations of social justice and equity from the dictates of
organizational convenience toward the aspirations of self-realization
and learning, from authoritarianism and dogmatism toward more
participation, from uniformity and centralization toward diversity and
pluralism, from the concept of work as hard and unavoidable, from life
as nasty, brutish, and short toward work as purpose and
self-fulfillment, a recognition of leisure as a valid activity in
itself....
