No more turning away from the weak and the weary. No more tu

Summary

This quote, taken from the song "On the Turning Away" by Pink Floyd, urges people to stop neglecting those who are vulnerable and exhausted. It calls for an end to ignoring the callousness within ourselves. Instead, it envisions a world where we all come together and care for one another. The quote emphasizes that it's insufficient to merely observe and do nothing. It raises the question, is it merely an ambitious dream to hope for a time when we won't turn away from those in need?

Without this relay race called history there would be no European art and what characterizes it: a longing for originality, a longing for change. Robespierre, Napoleon, Beethoven, Stalin, Picasso, they're all runners in the relay race, they all belong to the same stadium.
