""For me, Father Daniel Berrigan is Jesus as a poet. If this be heresy, make the most of it."" -Kurt Vonnegut ""Daniel Berrigan is America's greatest prophet-poet."" -- James Carroll ""Father Daniel Berrigan is an altogether winning and warm intelligence and a man who, I think, has more than anyone I have ever met the true wide-ranging and simple heart of the Jesuit: zeal, compassion, understanding, and uninhibited religious freedom. Just seeing him restores one's hope in the church."" -- Thomas Merton, in ""Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander""
