If you divide the world into them and us, and history into ours and theirs, or if you think of history as something only you and your affiliates possess, then no matter what you know, no matter how noble your intentions, you have taken one step toward the destruction of the world. Robert Bringhurst
About This Quote

A world divided into them and us is not a world we can trust. Everything we do is for our own benefit and to gain more power and control over the world. However, this world belongs to all of us and we must work together to make sure that it stays that way. We don’t all have the same interests, but we must come together as one or we will lose everything that we have worked so hard for.
