Henry David Thoreau
“Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men, generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to put out its faults, and do better than it would have them? Why does it always crucify Christ and excommunicate Copernicus and Luther, and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels?”
Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience

Ransom Riggs
“We cling to our fairy tales until the price for believing in them becomes too high.”
Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Robin Hobb
“Somehow," she said coldly, "you have confused profitable and not profitable for right and wrong. I, however, have not.”
Robin Hobb, Ship of Magic

Robin Hobb
“Honour and courtesy and justice...they are not real, Fitz. We all pretend to them, and hold them to us like shields. But they guard only against folk who carry the same shields. Against those who have discarded them, they are no shields at all, but only additional weapons to use against their victims.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Quest

Robin Hobb
“Only my pain is more silent than my anger.”
Robin Hobb, Ship of Magic
