Summary

This quote suggests that technology is shaping both our physical gestures and the behavior of individuals. It implies that technology has a twofold impact: on one hand, it allows us to be more precise in our gestures by providing tools that enhance our abilities; on the other hand, it can also make gestures more brutal, possibly by increasing the efficiency and power behind actions. Additionally, this quote hints at how technology shapes the nature of individuals, possibly making them more perceptive but potentially also contributing to a less empathetic and compassionate society.

Before big bridges, deep tunnels and the advent of health and safety regulations, there were many ways to cross rivers. They would use rowing boats, rickety rafts or in the absence of a vessel, swim or wade. Everyone knew what a stepping-stone was. They all understood that it was not something that you would want to stand on for any length of time. It was a means to an end, an important point and a route from A to B.

What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people.

History, is made up of the bad actions of extraordinary men

History, is made up of the bad actions of extraordinary men and woman. All the most noted destroyers and deceivers of our species, all the founders of arbitrary governments and false religions have been extraordinary people; and nine tenths of the calamities that have befallen the human race had no other origin than the union of high intelligence with low desires.
