As a consequence, progress has come to mean simply more power, more profit, more productivity, more paper prosperity, all of which are convertible into standards concerned only with size or magnitude rather than quality or excellence.

I do not regard it as wrong to take my life, because I simply change my place of residence and go where my wife and baby are.

We have witnessed the terrible increases in the incidence of alcoholism, the advent of drug dependency, the protests, marches, strikes and human alienation.

I am glad to go with my wife and baby boy.
