If we could read the secret history of our enemies,

we should find in each person's life

sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

Where is the Life we have lost in living?

          Where is the Wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

          Where is the Knowledge we have lost in information?

                                - T. S. Elliot 

 

 

 

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

                                        --T. S. Elliot
