"Everybody looks at the world from behind the windows of a cultural home, and everybody prefers to act as if people from other countries have something special about them...but home is normal. Unfortunately there is no normal position in cultural matters. This is an uncomfortable message, as uncomfortable as Galileo Galilei's claim...that the Earth is not the center of the universe."
