    Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused
    “Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior.

It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
