"What seemed to allow this deadly night to descend was that the 
intellectual patterns that were supposed to be in charge of things, that 
should comprehend the threat and lead the fight against it, were paralyzed. 
They were paralyzed, not by any external force, but by their own internal 
construction, which made them unable to comprehend what was happening."
(Lila, 24)

Another "slogan" for you to ponder.
