Signature
- To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget

Yeah, I'm not sure how that comparison came to his mind either - I think it's fair to say Niemöller didn't have people like Woods in mind when he wrote that! I guess I just find it irritating because I've seen how many safeguards there actually are in this country and it just strikes me as intellectual laziness to go "OH NOES! THOUGHT POLICE!!!!1" as is so often the case on here. Usually I'm quite mellow when it comes to legal topics!
