Next Quote
Casually, unconsciously, but with deadly effectiveness, western man all round the globe destroyed the traditional gods and the ancient societies with his commerce and his science. ...

It is hard to believe that the future could ever belong to men demonstrating irresponsibility on so vast a scale.
— Barbara Ward, Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth
