Quotations

“Our society is disintegrating primarily because it has lost its sense of goal, and because its knowledge of skills and tools for the control of the physical world has outrun its ability to understand and control human relations. . . This necessitates a study of the techniques of peacemaking, international relations, and the long view of history.” (1947; portrait Joy Ereckson, Manchester Col.)
