Teaching began for me this past week. Like most people, I like quotes. The most memorable quotes make you reflect and think and react all in the same instant. So quotes are a useful way to focus the theme of a lecture. This Monday, our university remembers the life efforts by Martin Luther King Jr. and here is a great quote by King himself seen through the lens of youtube or you can read with your brain:
When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance. We’ve learned to fly the air like birds, we’ve learned to swim the seas like fish, yet we haven’t learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters.
