“Whereas, at present, every man, even if free, asks himself, ‘What can I do alone against all this ocean of evil and deceit which overwhelms us? Why should I express my opinion? Why indeed possess one?…Is it not better to go with the stream which carries me along?’ We complain of the senselessness of life, at variance with our being, and yet refuse to use the unique and powerful weapon within our grasp: the consciousness of truth, and its expression.”
Leo Tolstoy
