“He wasn't an automaton; he was in many ways - and observers often noticed it and chose the defining adjective - a kind man. Kindness is a quality that is often overlooked beside the noisier virtues and sins. But without it humanity loses something essential to itself: a deeply human quality, maybe even a defining quality - the humane. (Describing Carl Sylvius Volkner)”
