1 " We might say that there can be pity in its full-fledged form only where there is also mercy for self: for the self engulfed by a sense of its own utter blackness can never win through to a sufficient recognition of the sorrows of the other as other. "
― Martha C. Nussbaum , On Nineteen Eighty-Four: Orwell and Our Future
