    If you don’t know foreign languages, you don’t know anything about your own.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    A society which is clamoring for choice, which is filled with many articulate groups, each urging its own brand of salvation, its own variety of economic philosophy, will give each new generation no peace until all have chosen or gone under, unable to bear the conditions of choice. The stress is in our civilization.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
