![“We pride ourselves at Natrona - I mean, pride {ironically] - on developing a noncompetitive community. That's very important. The values that can come from that kind of meditative work combined with the creative work you do, combined with your activism, can come together.” quote by Anne Waldman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/392/anne-waldman-4046_activism_we-pride-ourselves-at-natrona-i-mean-pri_100312.jpg)
![“If [people] place such things as friendship and family ties above their own productive work, yes, then they are immoral.
