>From MILDRED FERENTINO: "Fear
covers a larger area than shame. Shame is a part of fear just as odd
is a part of number, with the result that it is not true that where
there is number there is also oddness, but that where there is oddness
there is also number. Do you follow me now? This is the kind of thing
I was asking before, whether where there is piety there is also justice,
but where there is justice there is not always piety, for pious is a
part of justice." pg. 18 >rm
