As the ship they were sailing on approached Ellis Island in New York City, the Statue of Liberty came into view. Those on deck seeing Lady Liberty off in the distance, as new immigrants excited to finally arrive in their new land, they started shouting in Italian with one loud voice, “Libertà , libertà !”

I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
