“Kinder sind wie Tiere. Sie folgen ihren Instinkten, ohne Sinn und Verstand. Sie haben kein Bewusstsein ihrer Taten. Wie gut dressiere Tiere ahmen sie die Taten anderer nach, wiederholen die Wörter und Regeln, die man ihnen vorbetet, ohne sie wirklich zu begreifen. In ihren Instinkten unterscheiden sie sich nicht voneinander. Sie zu benennen ist daher wider ihre Natur. (Tamberian Bork Elluren)”

“Kindness, after all, comes to him naturally; he was hatched in its lucky genre and embraces its attributes effortlessly. Gentleness, generosity and compromise are not for him learned skills; they have always been with him . . . It may, for all I know, have existed in his family for generations. He is not at the frontier as I am.
For me kindness is an alien quality; and like a difficult French verb I must learn it slowly, painfully, and probably imperfectly. It does not swim freely in my bloodstream -- I have to inject it artificially at the risk of all sorts of unknown factors. It does not wake with me in the mornings; every day I have to coax it anew into existence, breathe on it to keep it alive, practice it to keep it in good working order. And most difficult of all, I have to exercise it in such a way that it looks spontaneous and genuine; I have to see that it flows without hesitation as it does from its true practitioners, its lucky heirs who acquire it without laborious seeking . . .”
