The wall that separates insiders from outsiders is not born of human nature but methodically built, brick by brick, by tribal convention. The "wall" about which I will often speak in this book is not an organism or a membranous extension of some inborn aspect of "human nature".

Consciousness precedes Being, and not the other way around, as Marxists claim.

Without a global revolution in the sphere of human consciousness, nothing will change for the better. — Vaclav Havel

Everybody needs to grow up and leave home sometimes. But sometimes home doesn't like it. — Gregory Maguire
