A good world needs knowledge,

kindliness, and courage.

-Bertrand Russell, 1872-1970

 

I have no notions of a perfect society;

I don’t know what that means.

I know we can do much better

than what we got.

I would like to see everyone living in

warmth and harmony.

I know if we don’t live that way,

we will kill each other and

destroy the Earth.

-Jacque Fresco, 1916-2017
