One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail
to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society
has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent
who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very
survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas,
to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
