It is vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, peace! But there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish?

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! View quote

Hold it tightly by it's little tentacle, don't let the Freudians coax it away or the pharmacists poison it out of you.
