“Progress has to do with all mankind, not alone with
the calm, the wise, and the patient. There is youth in the world, and
youth is generally neither calm nor patient; it does not like to sit in
the rear rows and listen to mature considerations rendered in the tone
of a stock-market quotation concerning questions that are burning up its
heart, itself silent; if it did, it might learn to be wise and
calm,—and also ashy and inert. There is feeling in the world, and a very
great quantity of it; and those who do the suffering and the
sympathizing may be expected to say and to do many things not within the
limits of logic.”
—Voltairine de Cleyre (1907)
