Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.
George OrwellBeing in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.
