“It has often been said that power corrupts. But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness.

They feel our generosity as oppression.”
― Eric Hoffer

“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
