"Life lasts at the most about a hundred years. This is very short compared with geological periods. If we spend this short time doing harm our life will have been pointless. Everyone has the right to happiness but nobody has the right to destroy the happiness of others."
-- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
