All I insist on, and nothing else, is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid. Be silent, if you choose; but when it is necessary, speak–and speak in such a way that people will remember it.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Be silent, if you choose; but when it is necessary, speak—and speak in such a way that people will remember it.
