Quote of the Day (Barbara Kingsolver, on Living Inside a Hope)

“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. What I want is almost so simple I can't say it: elementary kindness. Enough to eat, enough to go around. The possibility that kids might one day grow up to be neither the destroyers nor the destroyed.” — American novelist, essayist and poet Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams (1990)
