Jane Addams
Private beneficence is totally inadequate to deal with the vast numbers of the city's disinherited.
Addams quotes
In his own way each man must struggle, lest the moral law become a far-off abstraction utterly separated from his active life.
Addams
I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy, will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.
