    O, this life
    Is nobler than attending for a check,
    Richer than doing nothing for a robe,
    Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk:
    Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine
    Yet keeps his book uncrossed.

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.
