1 " It is fortunate for this community that I am not a criminal. "
― Arthur Conan Doyle , The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans
2 " One thing I more and this is all I have to say...High School is not a separate unit from you. We are apart of you. Every man, woman, and child in this community is a part...Your ways of life in your homes and your town reflect here in the school. You can help us or you can hurt us. Our success depends largely on you. I used to think when I first started teaching school that it was all up to the teachers and the pupils. I have changed my mind. The little island of humanity that is each one of you must unite with other islands and become a mainland if we are to have a successful school. "
3 " The church itself is a spiritual director. It tries to connect your story with God's story. Just to be a true part of this community means you are being directed, you are being guided, you are being asked to make connection. The Bible is a spiritual director. People must read Scripture as a word for themselves personally, and ask where God speaks to them. Finally, individual Christians are also spiritual directors. A spiritual director is a Christian man or woman who practices the disciplines of the church and of the Bible and to whom you are willing to be accountable for your life in God. "
― Henri J.M. Nouwen
4 " With them the individual counted for nothing. No one was irreplaceable, because they drew no distinction between one man and another... In this community there was harmony, but no love. "
― Michael Ende , The Neverending Story
5 " If you are feeling constrained by a group that you belong to, ask yourself,“How can I participate in this community and still be who I am? "
― Gina Greenlee , Postcards and Pearls: Life Lessons from Solo Moments on the Road
6 " I love science fiction. There are ways in which this community kept me and my partner alive through some very, very bad years, and I will always acknowledge that. "
7 " The aim of God in history is the creation of an all-inclusive community of loving persons with God himself at the very heart of this community as its prime Sustainer and most glorious Inhabitant. "
8 " My passion was to be on Broadway and to be part of this community because I saw what it was like from the outside as the young kid in and around New York, and I would see things like the 'Easter Bonnet' or 'Broadway Bares,' things I would sneak into. "
