Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-03-05:

"Of course, if such superstitious standards of ground sanctity were to apply anywhere else--in Europe, say--nothing could ever be built or planted anywhere: not in once-blitzed London, not on the former battlefields of Kursk or Waterloo, and possibly not anywhere in America until someone determines, with 100 percent certainty, that not a bone or a fingernail of a Native American mingles with the churned earth of the site." -- Robert Hughes, art critic and historian, on the unreasonableness of voices raised against rebuilding on the site of the former World Trade Center in New York City.
