Percy Bysshe Shelley
In our truly remarkable an unexampled civil peace, where there are rarely fist fights; where no one is born, is gravely ill, or dies; where meat is eaten but no one sees an animal slaughtered; where scores of millions of cars, trains, elevators, and airplanes go their scheduled way and there is rarely a crash; where an immense production proceeds in orderly efficiency and the shelves are duly clears-and nevertheless none of this come to joy or tragic grief or any other final good-it is not surprising if there are explosions.

Paul Goodman

View quote
