The more you think about and interact with other people, the more you realize that it is untenable to privilege your interests over theirs.Steven Pinker
A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.Ralph Waldo Emerson
