rather than otherwise
to contemplate my own significance,
for if I am negligible
why should anyone persecute me ?"
- Stef Penney, The Tenderness of Wolves.
Unfortunately, the negligible
are probably the most persecuted.
In the same book, a truer statement:
"Mutual need is what makes people co-operate;
nothing to do with trust or kindness
or any such sentimental notion."
