	<description>It is only by practising mutual restraint and self denial that we can act and talk with other people; and, therefore, if we have to converse at all, it can only be with a feeling of resignation. -- Arthur Schopenhauer (Posthumous Papers, Selected and Translated by T. Bailey Saunders, 1896)</description>
