"What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity.

Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life"

You can't walk alone. Many have given the illusion, but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people, their history, their culture, and their values.
