" The lighthouse does not qualify your distress; it does not ask if you are black or white, wealthy or less so, Democrat or Republican. It does not concern itself with where you stand on a particular issue. Nor does it blame you for being in the middle of the storm. Rather, its priority is how it might guide you toward safe harbor. "

― Steve Pemberton , The Lighthouse Effect: How Ordinary People Can Have an Extraordinary Impact in the World
