To be human is to be challenged to be more divine. Not even to try to meet such a challenge is the biggest defeat imaginable.

I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.
