There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange. – Elias Canetti
What am I, Life? A thing of watery salt held in cohesion by unresting cells. Which work they know not why, which never halt, myself unwitting where their Master dwells? – John Edward Masefield
I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Dont trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it. – Charles Dickens
