Revolutions are needed to create progress.

?Irish Proverb
Martyrdom does not end
something, it only a beginning.
?Indira Gandhi
A thing is not necessarily true
because a man dies for it.
?Oscar Wilde

intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.

Although prepared for martyrdom,
I prefer that it be postponed.
