"We left with empty hands a hundred and seventy years ago, and we were right. We took nothing because there is nothing here but States and their weapons, the rich and their lies, the poor and their misery. There is no way to act rightly, with a clear heart, on Earth. There is nothing you can do that profit doesn't enter into, and fear of loss, and wish for power. You cannot say good morning without knowing which of you is superior to the other, or trying to prove it. You cannot act like a brother to other people, you must manipulate them, or command them, or obey them, or trick them." Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed.
