"The truly deliberately evil men are a very small minority, it is the appeasers who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser's intellectual abdication that invites them to take over.

When intellectual leaders fail to foster the best in the mixed, uninformed, vacillating character of people at large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes--Ayn Rand
