Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?"― T. S. Eliot "They weren’t immigrating to some existing society; indeed, they often did whatever they could do to destroy whatever existed here in the way of Indian society."― Samuel P. Huntington "In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for “finding himself.” If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence."― Thomas Merton
