Quotes:
"But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile..."
"...to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not just another race of creatures bound on other journeys."
"There are some...who lay claim to know, and who do their deeds of passion, ill-, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remeber that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us."
