“You can justify anything if you do it poetically enough.”
― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

“We are dreaming of tomorrow, and tomorrow isn’t coming; we are dreaming of a glory that we don’t really want. We are dreaming of a new day when the new day’s here already. We are running from the battle when it’s one that must be fought.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

“The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.”
― Dante Alighieri, Inferno
