we keep going back to the front lines, because we know that with every reader who pauses over a poem, every struggling student who overhears one line and remembers it and recites it to a colleague, every time we make someone's heart go from indifferent to sad or grateful, we are taking a step in the right direction. We can't measure it, but we believe it.[by Yehuda Amichai]
