"Believing ourselves to be possessors of absolute truth……" — Octavio Paz

"Believing ourselves to be possessors of absolute truth degrades us: we regard every person whose way of thinking is different from ours as a monster and a threat and by so doing turn our own selves into monsters and threats to our fellows."

Octavio Paz
