The time has come when we shall say to each worker, “You belong to us!” When we shall revise the paths and the signs, starting from the celestial ones. When we shall abbreviate languages and expressions of thought. When we shall read the ancient verses for the last time.
. . . Without succumbing to superstition, we must survey the milestones of humanity’s development under the sign of the community. We must see how the victory of the community grew, kindling the fires of knowledge and beauty. True knowledge and beauty comprise the best community.
Let us select and affirm everything that is best, and the one who discerns what is best will become a community member. (NEC (opens in new tab), 228)
