Quote by Jean-Paul Sartre

“He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever. When you realize that by changing your perspective, big things can be seen as little things, it becomes much harder to worry about anything. Commitment is an act, not a word.”

The same argument may be applied with much force to the races of man.”
