"...in one of the worst examples of imperial exploitative savagery, an 'advanced'
European nation brought down the indigenous ancient civilizations of Peru and
Mexico...-the thoughtless greed with which they melted down objects of the greatest
beauty, a heritage of all mankind, into gold bullion-and the brutality with which, in the
name of faith, they destroyed the culture of other peoples seven to eight thousand miles
from their own country."
"...we need more than ever to build
links of understanding and mutual respect between peoples of different
civilizations..."
Arthur M. Sackler, MD
