‘The greatest tragedy,’ Bhima began, the very next evening after he had moved into Prithvi’s hostel room, ‘call it a crime even, is when those with power and privilege refuse to speak, to lend their voice to those who have no voice.’

“I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.”
― Richard P. Feynman
