Our Civilisation
"Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence."James Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941)

Beers & Books CCLVXXX – John Hume
 |
| Difference is of the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth and should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity. |
John Hume (18 January 1937 – 3 August 2020)
