“Science may have transformed the world into a global village, but it has yet to teach the villagers to learn to talk with and understand each other.”

“Reform is not instantaneous, but proceeds by degrees.

This quest for a utopia leads to authoritarianism, intolerance and violence because, once the end goal has been defined, no one is allowed to criticize or change it.”
