    "What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death.

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