Quote by Gordon Roddick, 1963

“The midnight hand Stands upright, Caught for an instant In the pitching chime Of dead day, The hush cries, freedom! And is strangled in the rush Of tomorrow's potential. The midnight hour, When time is still, A shrill gasp of passion unspent, A sour taste Of bent magic In a god's tragic World.”

You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as you remember you're not alone, you will overcome.”
