Quotation by Gioconda Belli:
I know that the obsession to redeem humanity can be just as dangerous as the fanaticism I see in the faces of those who dedicate themselves to perfect bodies, pure, unadulterated food, and the quest for immortality. I try to think that each and every one of us is responsible for finding meaning and purpose in life, and that it's arrogant to think that my solution is better than the rest. On the other hand, I don't think anyone could ever convince me that the kind of pleasure that begins and ends in oneself can even remotely be compared to the exaltation and joy that comes from joining others in the effort to change the world.
