— Night Flight, Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Life has no meaning except in terms

of responsibility.

— Faith and History, Reinhold Niebuhr

Now take my hand and hold it tight.

I will not fail you here tonight,

For failing you, I fail myself

And place my soul upon a shelf

In Hell's library without light.

I will not fail you here tonight.

— The Book of Counted Sorrows
