Revolutionary morality does not fall from the sky. It is developed and consolidated through persevering daily struggle and effort. Like jade, the more it is polished the more it shines. Like gold, it grows ever purer as it foes into the melting pot. (Ho Chí Minh)

W. E. B. Du Bois

Edmund Burke

Robert Anton Wilson
