Favorite Quote (A Propos the September 11th Tragedies)

From :

Poetic Justice: Literary Imagination and Public Life, by M. Nussbaum, Beacon: Boston, 1995, p. xiv

Our society is full of refusals to imagine one another with empathy and compassion, refusals from which none of us is free. Many of the stories we tell one another encourage the refusal of compassion, not even the literary imagination is free from the blame.
