forgiveness to vendetta. On the whole, I think that knowledge is preferable to ignorance, and I am sure that
human sympathy is more valuable than ideology. I believe that, in spite of the recent triumphs of science,
men haven't changed much in the last 2,000 years; and in consequence we must still try to learn from
history. History is ourselves...and I think we should remember that we are part of a great whole, which for
convenience we call nature. All living things are our brothers and sisters. Above all, I believe in the God-given
genius of certain individuals, and I value a society that makes their existence possible."
