"Lest my way of life sound puritanical or austere, I always emphasize that in the long run one can't satisfactorily say no to war, violence, and injustice unless one is simultaneously saying yes to life, love, and laughter. To what end do we work if, at the end of each day, we cannot find the strength to raise our eyes above the mud?" - David Dellinger (Yale class of 1936 fiftieth reunion book)
