=A0 =A0=93The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'get by.'
The ordinary men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don=92t
want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves.
Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won=92t take measure of
their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those
who don=92t like to make waves=97or enemies.

=A0 =A0Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only
literature. Those who live small, love small, die small. It=92s the
reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you=92ll keep it
under control. If you don=92t make any noise, the bogeyman won=92t find
you.

=A0 =A0But it=92s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who
roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?!
>From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to
the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out
just like a flaming torch does.
