"With Iran's long history of lies and non-cooperation, why are we talking to them? Why are we giving them legitimacy?"

We live in a highly competitive society, each of us trying to outdo the other in wealth, in popularity or social prestige, in dress, in scholastic grades or golf scores. One is often tempted to say that conflict, rather than cooperation, is the great governing principle of human life.

— S. I. Hayakawa
