take a moment...

When we fail to name and celebrate the 'being' in 'human being,' we are more likely to treat each other like objects, commodities or machines. In an era of non-stop violence to the human self, we must lift up the fact that everyone has an inviolable sacred core.

Wislawa Szymborska Polish poet and recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature
