...from 'After Theory' by Terry Eagleton, which is a really good fun read that discusses quite a few of our current global predicaments. Very recommended.

“Love is no respecter of persons. It is remorselessly abstract, ready to attend to the needs of any old body. In this it is quite different to cultural difference. It is not indifferent to difference in the sense that it is blind to the specific needs of people. If it was it would not be attending to them at all. But it is quite indifferent as to whose specific needs it attends to.”
