Pace e Bene – 20 August 2023

“We must cross the threshold of this new millennium with the hope of those who have learned to resist, who have learned to build and dream of a brighter future—a future in which a sense of community and a respect for nature become parameters for coexistence, a future in which cultural and linguistic diversity is seen as the great wealth of humankind . . . based in equality, in justice at both the national and international levels, in the free self-determination of all peoples, and in a harmonious relationship with nature. Only then will it be possible to nurture sustainable development as well as an equitable distribution of wealth.”—Rigoberta Menchú Tum
