we all need you young people to stay strong

no matter how discouraging the rise of fascism may get

To be free one needs constant and unrelenting vigilance over one's weaknesses. A vigilance which requires a moral energy most of us are incapable of manufacturing. We relax back into the moulds of habit. They are secure, they bind us and keep us contained at the expense of freedom. To break the moulds, to be heedless of the seductions of security is an impossible struggle, but one of the few that count. To be free is to learn, to test yourself constantly, to gamble. --Robyn Davidson

we need you who have not yet relaxed "into the moulds of habit" to keep the revolutionary spirit alive.
