By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death.

Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference.
