"...I kept walking for a while and wondered what would happen...if we decided not to try to dominate the world...imagine how it would feel if we could be on a path of increasing compassion, diminishing brutality, diminishing greed--I think it might actually feel wonderful to be alive."--Wallace Shawn, "Fragments From a Diary"
