Ivan D. Illich (Vienna, September 4, 1926 – Bremen, December 2, 2002) via Friends of Hope:
“I and many others, known and unknown to me, call upon you: To celebrate our joint power to provide all human beings with the food, clothing and shelter they need to delight in living. To discover, together with us, what we must do to use mankind’s power to create the humanity, the dignity and the joyfulness of each one of us. To be responsibly aware of your personal ability to express your true feelings and to gather us together in their expression.”
