A regime which provides human beings no deep reasons to care about one another cannot long preserve its legitimacy.
Richard Sennett, The Corrosion of Character: The Personal Consequences of Work in the New Capitalism (NY: W. W. Norton, 1998).
When we see the beauty of the snow, when we see the beauty of the full moon, when we see the beauty of the cherries in bloom, when in short we brush against and are awakened by the beauty of the four seasons, it is then that we think most of those close to us, and want them to share the pleasure. (Yasunari Kawabata)
