Chorus Leader: He who, in order to know
What danger threatens, reads papers,
Each day at breakfast indignant
Over some distant disaster,
Each day given explanations
That spare him the need to think,
Each day informed of what happened the day before,
He finds it hard to perceive what is happening now
Beneath his own roof—
Chorus: Unpublished!

People with the same education as my own, speaking the same words that I do, loving the same books, the same music, the same paintings, are by no means immune from the danger of turning into monsters and doing things we would not have thought possible among the people of our own day, apart from a few pathological exceptions. If they are not immune, Why should I be so confident of my own immunity?

Max Frisch

Travelling, gentlemen, is medieval, today we have means of communication, not to speak of tomorrow and the day after, means of communication that bring the world into our homes, to travel from one place to another is atavistic.
