It was the shame we knew so well, the shame that drowned us after the selections, and every time we had to watch, or submit to, some outrage: the shame that the Germans did not know, that the just man experiences at another man's crime; the feeling of guilt that such a crime should exist, that it should have been introduced irrevocably into the world of things that exist, and that his will for good should have proved too weak or null, and should not have availed in defense. Primo Levi
You are a midwife, assisting at someone else's birth. Do good without show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to be happening. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet still free and in charge. When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say, "We did it ourselves! Lao Tzu
Dante Alighieri quote: "As at those words did I myself become; And all my love was so..."
As at those words did I myself become; And all my love was so absorbed in Him, That in oblivion Beatrice was eclipsed. Dante Alighieri
Maybe it’s seventy years in the future and you found this book in a stack of junk being used to block the entrance of an abandoned Starbucks that is now a feeding station for the alien militia. If that’s the case, I have some questions for you. Such as: “Did we really ruin the environment as much as we thought?” and “Is Glee still a thing? Tina Fey
Roger Zelazny quote: "Ill met by moonlight,' said Deirdre.'You could still be tied..."
Ill met by moonlight,' said Deirdre.'You could still be tied to a stake,' said Random, and she did not reply. Roger Zelazny
20 years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover Albert Einstein

Ernest Gellner
