A quotation from Orwell

Back in the nineteen-hundreds it was a wonderful experience for a boy to discover H. G. Wells. There you were, in a world of pedants, clergymen and golfers, with your future employers exhorting you to “get on or get out”, your parents systematically warping your sexual life, and your dull-witted schoolmasters sniggering over their Latin tags; and here was this wonderful man who could tell you about the inhabitants of the planets and the bottom of the sea, and who knew that the future was not going to be what respectable people imagined.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-08), “Wells, Hitler, and the World State,” Horizon

"I have seen in the Halls of Congress more idealism, more humanness, more compassion, more profiles of courage than in any other institution that I have ever known."

--Hubert H. Humphrey

This is how it was in America not so very long ago.

"To all of the young people out there who are creating social change or even fomenting social movements: hold on to your idealism and your belief in your ability to change the world. Your lofty goals demand attention and deserve support."

"Let humanity perish rather than the principle! This has been the motto of utopians and fanatics throughout the ages. Socialism, interpreted in this way, has become a religion […] which in the nineteenth century is the least revolutionary of all."

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, 1851, in "Idée générale de la Révolution au XIXe siècle"
