“Half the harm that is
done in this world
Is due to people who want to feel important.
They don’t mean to do harm — but the harm does not interest them.
Or they do not see it, or they justify it
Because they are absorbed in the endless struggle
To think well of themselves.” —American-born British poet-critic-playwright—and Nobel Literature laureate—T.S. Eliot (1888-1965), The Cocktail Party (1950)
