• Once we realize that the strangers are here forever and won't go away, then, like husband and wife in the old-style marriage, we would try to find a way of living together peacefully and with mutual benefit.

  Zygmunt Bauman

• The world's greatest need . . . is mutual confidence. No human being ever knows all the secrets of another's heart.

Confidence may be risky, but it is nothing like so risky as mistrust.

  Arnold J. Toynbee
