"We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time…. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is deaf to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residue of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: “Too late.” There is an invisible book of life that faithfully records our vigilance or our neglect…. We still have a choice today; nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation.We must move past indecision to action…. Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter—but beautiful—struggle for a new world."
