random quotes ... to amuse, inspire, enrage:
It is my duty not to follow unlawful orders and not to participate in things I find morally reprehensible. The one God-given freedom and right that we really have is freedom of choice. I just want to tell everybody, especially people who doubt the war, that you do have that one freedom. And that's something that they can never take away. Yes, they will imprison you. They'll throw the book at you. They'll try to make an example out of you, but you do have that choice."

"When you are looking your children in the eye in the future, or when you are at the end of your life, you want to look back on your life and know that at a very important moment, when I had the opportunity to make the right decisions, I did so, even knowing there were negative consequences. We all have a duty as American citizens for civil disobedience, and to do anything we can within the law to stop an illegal war.
