The impossible will take a little while : perseverance and hope in troubled times
Loeb, P. (2014). The impossible will take a little while : perseverance and hope in troubled times (New and Revised Edition). New York: Basic Books.
Named after a US Army Corp of Engineers’ motto and taken from the lines of a Billie Holiday song, this book was meant to feed the souls of the next political activists for democracy, social justice, and peace. Little did Loeb realize that stories of immense hope, creativity, persistence and lofty values in the face of overwhelmingly poor odds are exactly what scholars and teachers need to hear. To keep working in the face of constant failure and the strains of a society that gains wisdom slower than science gains knowledge, The Impossible Will Take a Little While should be read by anyone who desires to have the fortitude to make their best dreams a reality.
