“Communities are not built of friends, or of groups of people with similar style and tastes, or even of people who like and understand each other. They are built of people who feel that they are a part of something that is bigger than themselves: a shared goal or enterprise, like righting a wrong, or building a road, or raising children, or loving honorably, or worshipping a god. To build community requires only the ability to see value in others; to look at them and see a potential partner in one’s enterprise.” -Suzanne Goldsmith
