Martin’s Quotes

“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

“[C]ameras, in the right hands-or at least in more and more hands of average citizens-may help create a culture in which the previously powerless have the welcome recourse of evidence against the culpable.”
