Nuggets of truth were found, but the total wealth of knowledge increased slowly. Modern man began to transform this world when he began to mine the hidden veins of knowledge systematically.”

Similarly, for those in whom motherhood has awakened, love and compassion for everyone are as much part of their being as breathing.”

Who wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same.”

On the contrary, and this is the perfection of peace to make it between two opposites.”
