“On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient? And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? Conscience asks the question, is it right?

― Martin Luther King Jr.

“There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions.”
