"As barbaric is we are, it's a miracle we haven't blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far."

Previous Quote

We cannot doubt that barbaric people receive such influences more visibly and obviously, and in all likelihood more easily and fully than we do, for our life in cities, which deafens or kills the passive meditative life, and our education that enlarges the separated, self-moving mind, have made our souls less sensitive.

— William Butler Yeats
