It is required of a man that he share the action and passion of his time at

the peril of being judged not to have lived. Through our great good fortune

in our youth, our hearts were touched with fire.

-Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,

Memorial Day Speech, 1884

To everything there is a season . . .

a time to keep silence and a time to speak.

-Ecclesiastes III:l, 7

There's a battle

Outside and it's ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.

-Bob Dylan,

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"
