What ought a man to be? Well, my short answer is ‘himself’. - Henrik Ibsen

Tabets alt din vinding skabte —

Someone has said – or is it written
somewhere – I don't remember where,
that if you conquer all the world
yet lose your Self, all that you gain is
a wreath around your broken skull
– or words to that effect. That text
is by no means poetic nonsense.

Was the majority right when they stood by while Jesus was crucified? Was the majority right when they refused to believe that the earth moved around the sun and let Galileo be driven to his knees like a dog?

It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right.
