"We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots, and executions. We
kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering, and shame. In the same
way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference,
all contempt is nothing else than killing. With just a little witty
skepticism we can kill a good deal of the future in a young person. Life is
waiting everywhere, the future is flowering everywhere, but we only see
a small part of it and step on much of it with our feet." : - Hermann
Hesse, German poet and novelist.


...most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and
attached themselves to some one of these communities of opinion. This
conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few
lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true.
Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that
every word they say chagrins us, and we know not where to begin to set
them right: Ralph Waldo Emerson - Self Reliance - 1841 - From 'Essays",
