QUITE SO: One day, I would like to be famous enough to begin an article in this manner:
"I want to begin in the middle of things so that I can move back and forth and not pretend that my argument is a march toward a necessary conclusion. It isn't that; maybe some later version of the argument will start at the beginning, if I can figure out where the beginning is."
-Michael Walzer, "Beyond Humanitarian Intervention: Human Rights in Global Society"
"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
