the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals." - Martin Luther King Jr.

 

“What I may call the messages of Brave New World, but it is possible to make people contented with their servitude. I think this can be done. I think it has been done in the past.

the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
