The Hope Of The World Lies In

Man Is A Part Of The World, And His Spirit Is Part Of The Spirit Of The World. We Are Merely A Peculiar Mode Of Being, A Living Atom Within It, Or, Rather, A Cell That, If Sufficiently Open To Itself And Its Own Mystery, Can Also Experience The Mystery, The Will, The Pain, And The Hope Of The World.

The Only Salvation Of The World Today... Is The Rapid Dissemination Of The Basic Values Of The West, That Is, The Ideas Of Democracy, Human Rights, The Civil Society, And The Free Market.

We Must Come To Understand The Deep Mutual Connection Or Kinship Between The Various Forms Of Our Spirituality. We Must Recollect Our Original Spiritual And Moral Substance, Which Grew Out Of The Same Essential Experience Of Humanity. I Believe That This Is The Only Way To Achieve A Genuine Renewal Of Our Sense Of Responsibility For Ourselves And For The World. And At The Same Time, It Is The Only Way To Achieve A Deeper Understanding Among Cultures That Will Enable Them To Work Together In A Truly Ecumenical Way To Create A New Order For The World.

Drama Assumes An Order. If Only So That It Might Have - By Disrupting That Order - A Way Of Surprising.

If The World Is To Change For The Better It Must Start With A Change In Human Consciousness, In The Very Humanness Of Modern Man.
