I believe in the power of storytelling to change the world.
Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live, giving up victory and defeat.

Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
