Edith Keeler: Now, I don't pretend to tell you how
to find happiness and love, when every day is just
a struggle to survive. But I do insist that you do
survive, because the days and the years ahead are
worth living for. One day soon, man is going to be
able to harness incredible energies, maybe even the
atom, energies that could ultimately hurl us to other
worlds in some sort of spaceship. And the men that
reach out into space will be able to find ways to
feed the hungry millions of the world, to cure their
diseases. They'll be able to find a way to give each
man hope and a common future - and those are the
days worth living for.
