“We were not strong, only aggressive;we were not free, merely licensed;we were not compassionate, we were polite;not good, but well behaved.We courted death in order to call ourselves brave, and hid like thieves from life.We substituted good grammar for intellect;we switched habits to simulate maturity;we rearranged lies and called it truth.”
