  • civility masks the abject horror of the world we live in. civility is the false peace – it’s a peace marked by masking of tension rather than any resolution of it. our world is not peaceful

    Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
