“ if there were no intelligent people to point out humanity’s various woes, humanity wouldn’t even notice them. And sensitive people who suffer cause the rest to suffer by association.For the time being, since we live in society, our one duty as superiors is to reduce to a minimum our participation in the life of the tribe. ”
