• Aún nos espera un día de gracia. Tanto el Norte como el Sur han sido culpables ante Dios; y la Iglesia Cristiana tiene una pesada cuenta que responder. Esta Unión no se salvará uniéndose para protestar contra la injusticia y la crueldad, y haciendo del pecado un capital común, sino mediante el arrepentimiento, la justicia y la misericordia; porque no es más segura la ley eterna por la cual la piedra de molino se hunde en el océano, que aquella ley más fuerte por la cual la injusticia y la crueldad atraerán sobre las naciones la ira del Dios Todopoderoso.

• Man is about to be an automaton; he is identifiable only in the computer. As a person of worth and creativity, as a being with an infinite potential, he retreats and battles the forces that make him inhuman. The dissent we witness is a reaffirmation of faith in man; it is protest against living under rules and prejudices and attitudes that produce the extremes of wealth and poverty and that make us dedicated to the destruction of people through arms, bombs, and gases, and that prepare us to think alike and be submissive objects for the regime of the computer.

• La opresión le cuesta demasiado al opresor si el oprimido se levanta y protesta. La protesta no tiene por qué ser meramente física -el lanzamiento de piedras y balas-, si es mental, espiritual; si se expresa en una insatisfacción silenciosa y persistente, el coste para el opresor es terrible.
