Community life implies a personal commitment which is made real in meetings between people. But we are very quick to flee from these meetings. They frighten us just because they commit us. We flee into administration, law, rules, the search for 'objective truth'; we flee into work and activity. We flee from meeting people; we would rather do things for them. But if we are to love, we have to meet.(Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 284)
