“We will be known as a culture that…adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few & cared little for the penury of the many… that taught & rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity… & that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.”
