"...transformed the slumbering majorities behind all parties into one great unorganized, structureless mass of frustrated individuals who had nothing in common except their vague apprehension that the hopes of party members were doomed, that, consequently, the most respected, articulate and representitive members of the community were fools and that all the powers that be were not so much evil as they were stupid and fraudulent."
-Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
