Archive is a kind of thought in which the eye goes beyond things to visibilities and language goes beyond words to utterances.

Authority is powerful — You can't fight City Hall

Authority is everything — eloquence is not what the speaker says but who he is that gives weight to eloquence.

Authority is anathema to freedom — Where there is authority, there is no freedom.

Authority is everything — people accept an idea more readily if you say Benjamin Franklin said it first.

The Border is the scar of history.

A Border is scratched across the hearts of men by strangers with a calm, judicial pen, and when the borders bleed we watch with dread the lines of ink across the map turn red.

Community is gathering around a fire and listening to someone tell a story.

Community is, as the very heart of civilization, the mutually cooperative and voluntary venture of man to assume a semblance of responsibility for his brother.

Community is grounded in dialogue — it comes as a result of folks talking 'to' one another instead of 'about'.
