A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized.
Society exists only as a mental concept in the real world there are only individuals.

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
