You are quite right, Mary Laura. Here are the others we often used (along with the actual quote from JCO): . "At the edge of history the future is blowing wildly in our faces, sometimes brightening the air and sometimes blinding us." William Irwin Thompson . "The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to shake off our ancient prejudices, and to build the earth." Teilhard de Chardin . "We have arrived at an historical vantage point . . . where the wasteland ends and . . . human wholeness and fulfillment begins." Theodore Rosak . "Man anticipates more or less clearly his entire future at every moment." Jose Ortega y Gassett . "What appears to be a breaking down of civilization may well be simply the breaking up of old forms by life itself."
