There is always the danger that if you speak a language that recognizes only individual rights, you will become a people that can think only about individuals.

Mary Ann Glendon

Quote of the day

One of the first signs of the beginnings of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate.
Franz Kafka
