Matching Quote
"Nature's law says that the strong must prevent the weak from living, but only in a newspaper article or
textbook
can this be packaged into a comprehensible thought. In the soup of everyday life, in the mixture of minutia from which human relations are woven, it is not a law. It is a logical incongruity when both strong and weak fall victim to their mutual relations, unconsciously subservient to some unknown guiding power that stands outside of life, irrelevant to man."
-Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
