"What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilisations and cultures, progress weakens life and favours death.

Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life!"
