The awakening of the conscience is the grandeur of the soul.
The mountain of history books under which we all stand leans so heavily in the other direction – so tremblingly respectful of states and statesmen and so disrespectful, by inattention, to people’s movements – that we need some counterforce to avoid being crushed into submission.
...Most histories understand revolt, overemphasize statesmanship, and thus encourage impotency among citizens.
