Do you realize why is it I'm so driven to operate within the Establishment? It's vengeance. 'Hope I die before I get old' is something I still have to live with, but not for the reason many people think. I have to be very, very vigilant not to become one of those people I despised. Pete Townshend
About This Quote

The line that is often quoted from Martin Luther King, Jr. in his book "Stride Toward Freedom," his final public address in April 4, 1968, is a quote with a powerful meaning. In the speech, King associated the Establishment with the capitalist system in America. He said: "To create a world of peace and justice, we must not be afraid to do the things which are necessary to create such a world. Because our physical equipment is mighty, our responsibility is still greater."
