"It may be that as civilization advances, the sense of wonder declines. But it is ironic that just as technology frees us to be full human beings, not mere survivors of earth's rigors, at this very moment we may be about to lose the whole planet because we have lost our sense of wonder. For finally only reverence can restrain violence, violence against nature, violence against one another."

"Asked to comment on Jesus' saying, 'Render unto Cesar the things which are Cesar's and unto God the things which are God's,' Dorothy Day took a moement or two to reflect and then replied, 'If we were to render unto God all the things which are God's, there would be nothing left for Cesar."
