Quote by Anthony Marais

“Any psyche, conscious of itself, will revolt against the shape, size or color of the body in which it dwells; this is healthy—for that body, in fact, not only reminds the psyche of its mortality, it deprives it of its individuality, binding it to a group. Accordingly, crimes of racial violence outrage not only the victims, but all individuals. Apathy, in this case, is a sad indication that you are not an individual.”
