• En cierta ocasión, un hombre saltó desde el último piso de una casa en llamas en la que ya habían perecido muchos miembros de su familia. Consiguió salvar la vida, pero al caer golpeó a una persona que estaba abajo y le rompió las piernas y los brazos. El hombre que saltó no tuvo elección; sin embargo, para el hombre con los miembros rotos él fue la causa de su desgracia. Si ambos se comportaran racionalmente, no se convertirían en enemigos.

But the clear-eyed hero who makes his way, with every sense alert and every nerve strung, into the hell of flames to rescue some little child, proves his courage.

• If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
