"...the only really practical type of a rebellion is that which is also a repentance."

He would rebel but he would not repent; and the only really practical type of a rebellion is that which is also a repentance....

All real reform springs from this sense of something wrong, not only in our surroundings, but in ourselves. And there is one thing that must come before even reform in your relations to the changing and challenging social conditions of our time. There is something we have do even before we reform, before we reconstruct, before we revolutionise or refuse to revolutionise. We have to apologize....

I believe that this fact of a false dignity has a great deal to do with the fierceness of the real discontent...The mood of revolt will grow more and more bitter so long as we can prove we are right; we must pray for the higher talent of proving we are wrong.
