| The retaliation is apt to be in monstrous disproportion to the supposed offense; for when in anybody was revenge in its exactions aught else but an inordinate usurer? |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Billy Budd, Sailor (posthumous), ch 13, eds. Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr. (1962). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| I believe that to meet the challenge of the next century all human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. It is very old-fashioned to think in terms of my nation, or my country. Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. Large human movements spring from individual initiatives. Thus it is the individual working for the common welfare who makes the difference. |

| Forc'd from their homes, a melancholy train, To traverse climes beyond the western main; Where wild Oswego spreads her swamps around, And Niagara stuns with thundering sound. |

| Quote of the moment |
| I feel there is a difference between the mental conflicts that one feels and the emotions they give rise to - anger, hostility, and so forth. If you are not able to express the mental conflicts that you have, then at a later point of your life when you are able to express these mental conflicts, they are automatically accompanied by hostility and anger. Therefore, it is important to express one's suffering, not so much the hostility, but rather the suffering. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, October 20, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
