“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.” — Howard Zinn (1922–2010)

I'm glad we can call on the wisdom of people like Howard Zinn, Carl Sagan, Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King, Jr., George Carlin, and Hannah Arendt (among many more, they just came to mind off the top of my head). I'm also kind of glad they're not here to have to live through this shit.
