I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books.

It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta
