QotD
"My philosophy of life is that the meek shall inherit
nothing but debasement, frustration and ignoble deaths; that there
is security in personal strength; that you can fight City
Hall and win; that any action is better than no action,
even if it's the wrong action; that you never reach glory or
self-fulfillment unless you're willing to risk everything, dare
anything, put yourself dead on the line every time; and that once
one becomes strong or rich or potent or powerful it is the
responsibility of the strong to help the weak become
strong." --
Harlan
Ellison (b. 1934-05-27), The Harlan Ellison
Hornbook, (1973-08-09)
[I found the quote in
Wikiquote
after I was inspired to go looking for it when
txtriffidranch
referred to the "responsibility of the strong to help the weak
become strong" part of it.]
Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends (and Columbus
Day to my fellow Americans).
