Alcalá 1975

LEARNING TO LIVE No man has learned to live until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concern s of all humanity. Length without breadth i s like a self-contained tributary having no outward flow to the o cean. Stagnant, still, and s tale, it lacks both life and freshness. In order to live creatively and meaningfully, our self-concern must be wedded to other concern. THE QUALITY OF LIFE The quality, not the l ongevity, of one's life is what is important If you are cut down in a movement t hat is designed to save the soul of a nation, then no other death could be more re demptive.
