Quotation of the day

"... [B]y far the most valuable things we know or can imagine are certain states of consciousness which may be roughly described as the pleasures of human intercourse and the enjoyment of beautiful objects. It is only for the sake of these things—in order that as much of them as possible may at some time exist—that any one can be justified in performing any public or private duty … It is they … that form the rational ultimate end of human action and the sole criterion of social progress.."
