" She always said, "We do what we can."
When they were on the road together, he thought that meant even small things are worth doing. Later, he realized what he first thought was a comforting slogan was actually a challenge: what CAN you do, really? Look at the world and ask yourself what it needs. Then look at yourself and ask what can I give, what sacrifices can I make, whom can I help?
There's always a tank rolling down some street. You can't do everthing. But that doesn't forgive you for not doing what you can. "
