Between the desire And the spasm, Between the potency And the existence, Between the essence And the descent, Falls the Shadow.
T. S. EliotWe can at least try to understand our own motives, passions, and prejudices, so as to be conscious of what we are doing when we apeal to those of others. This is very difficult, because our own prejudice and emotional bias always seems to us so rational.
