"Most people don't relate to and can't generate concern for something they don't encounter personally or feel personally affected by.

-- Edward Norton

If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face.”

“The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but it can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation. Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government.”
