"I know not, O Athenians! how far you have been influenced by the literati
for my part, in listening to them I almost forgot myself, so gale-like
were their brain-farts however, so to speak, they have said nothing true."
If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not
care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see.
- Henry David Thoreau
