The quote, “Take care not to welcome today the terrors that will make yesterday's demons look like angels”, comes from a letter written by William Styron.

The quote warns us to be wary of those who would lead us into a false sense of security and suggest that we behave as though we were already safe. William Styron was just as concerned as we are about those who say things like: "We're not going to let you down."
