"The evil man must be forgiven every day. He must be loved, because something of each of us is in the most evil man in the world and something of him is in each of us. He is ours and we are his. None of us is separate from any other. The peasant's prayer is my prayer, the assassins's crime is my crime." -William Sarovan, A Contemporary High Holy Day Service
“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….
