We're all born as molecules in the hearts of a billion stars, molecules that do not understand politics, policies, and differences. In a billion years we, foolish molecules, forget who we are and where we came from. Desperate acts of ego. We give ourselves names, fight over lines on maps, and pretend our light is better than everyone else's. The flame of a candle reminds us of the piece of those stars that lives inside us. A spark that tells us: You should know better. -- Babylon 5
No one is born is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. --- Nelson Mandela
