“We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.”
Musíme sa presvedčiť, že cieľ, ktorý hľadáme, je spoločnosť v mieri sama so sebou, spoločnosť, ktorá môže žiť so svojím svedomím.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968) American clergyman, activist, and leader in the American Civil Rights Movement

1960s, How Long, Not Long (1965)
Kontext: I must admit to you that there are still jail cells waiting for us, and dark and difficult moments. But if we will go on with the faith that nonviolence and its power can transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows, we will be able to change all of these conditions. And so I plead with you this afternoon as we go ahead: remain committed to nonviolence. Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding. We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience. And that will be a day not of the white man, not of the black man. That will be the day of man as man.

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.”
Hoci cestujeme po svete, aby sme našli krásu, musíme ju nosiť so sebou, aby sme ju našli.

Kontext: Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not. The best of beauty is a finer charm than skill in surfaces, in outlines, or rules of art can ever teach, namely, a radiation from the work of art of human character, — a wonderful expression through stone, or canvas, or musical sound, of the deepest and simplest attributes of our nature, and therefore most intelligible at last to those souls which have these attributes.

“Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.”
Povedz mu áno. Aj keď umieraš od strachu, aj keď ťa to neskôr omrzí. Pretože nech urobíš čokoľvek, bude ti po celý zvyšok života ľúto, ak povieš nie.

“Art is the magic mirror you make to reflect your invisible dreams in visible pictures. You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul.”
Umenie je magické zrkadlo, ktoré vytvárate preto, aby odrážalo vaše neviditeľné sny na viditeľných obrazoch. V sklenenom zrkadle vidíte svoju tvár: v umeleckých dielach vidíte svoju dušu.

George Bernard Shaw Back to Methuselah

Kontext: Art is the magic mirror you make to reflect your invisible dreams in visible pictures. You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul. But we who are older use neither glass mirrors nor works of art. We have a direct sense of life. When you gain that you will put aside your mirrors and statues, your toys and your dolls.
