No man may initiate the use of physical force against others.

The ethical principle involved is simple and clear-cut: it is the difference between murder and self-defense.

Not by birth, not by the work of one's hands, not by the wings of education is one elected into the people. But by one's inner self. Everyone forges his inner self year after year. One must try to temper, to cut, to polish one's soul so as to become a human being. And thereby become a tiny particle of one's own people.

For Ophelia is quite essential to the play, she is very charming . . . and a little mad.
