Every Age has its own peculiar faith. Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.
Giuseppe Mazzini

Once I thought that to be human was the highest aim a man could have, but I see now that it was meant to destroy me.

I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity - I belong to the earth!
