“The inward persuasion that we are free to do, or not to do a thing, is but a mere illusion. If we trace the true principle of our actions, we shall find, that they are always necessary consequences of our volitions and desires, which are never in our power. You think yourself free, because you do what you will; but are you free to will, or not to will; to desire, or not to desire? Are not your volitions and desires necessarily excited by objects or qualities totally independent of you?”

Taking the line of least resistance, we ascribe to them collective crimes, collective acts and opinions. "The Serbs have massacredâ€¦", "The English have devastatedâ€¦", "The Jews have confiscatedâ€¦", "The Blacks have torched", "The Arabs refuseâ€¦". We blithely express sweeping judgments on whole peoples, calling them "hardworking" and "ingenious", or "lazy", "touchy", "sly", "proud", or "obstinate". And sometimes this ends in bloodshed." â€“ Amin Maalouf "On Identity”
“I think Hollywood has a class system. The actors are like the inmates, but the truth is they're running the asylum.”
