"Three passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind" - Bertrand Russell

"Every single empire in its official discourse, has said that it is not like all others,that its circumstances are special,that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize,bring order and democracy and it uses force only as a last resort.And, sadder still,there is always a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires,as if one shouldn't trust evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and the death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice." - Edward Said , quoted from his book Orientalism
