![](https://www.antarcticajournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/quotes-article-header.png)
“The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds and makes all political and social life a mass illness. Without this housecleaning we cannot begin to see. Unless we can see, we cannot think.”
– Thomas Merton
