They hate because they fear, and they fear because they feel that the deepest feelings of their lives are being assaulted and outraged. And they do not know why; they are powerless pawns in a blind play of social forces. Richard Wright
Blaise Pascal quote: "To make a man a saint, it must indeed be by grace; and whoever..."
To make a man a saint, it must indeed be by grace; and whoever doubts this does not know what a saint is, or a man. Blaise Pascal
